It's probably a delicate subject for many who have had the misfortune to be part of one. However, mistakes can be learned from and that is about the only value they have. Seems like about every fall someone has something go terribly awry whether it is firearm related, exposure, getting lost, or other serious life threatening or deadly situation. I've never had the misfortune to have anything too serious happen. The most significant was the hot flash I got when I realized by rifle safety was not engaged as it should have been. Fortunately I was alone, and good muzzle and trigger control were followed but like I say,....hot flash like the moment you realize you lost your wallet. Another time I was way back in on forest roads with snow coming down at an insane rate. I was already pushing snow with the front bumper of the power stroke but luckily I got out. The most harrowing experience was decades ago when I was on a hillside and saw two twatwaffles looking at me through their rifle scopes from their truck 400 yards away.
