Jim,
I've been around plenty of guys who've survived their errors. In every case, the man is already aware of what he's done wrong, and is kicking himself harder than any of his buddies attempting to add to the pain. There's really no point in scolding Anib, is there? He knows what he did.
He showed some courage in telling all of us about his mistake. If we rake him over the coals for it, how likely will the NEXT guy be to post when he does something dumb? Such confessions are good for all of us, and serve as a wake-up call to others who might make similar judgement errors. I'd hate to discourage such postings.
We also don't know the full story here -- for all we know, he could have been rushing to the hospital because he heard his kid was in the emergency room. (Okay, probably not, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt.) There may have been some extenuating circumstance compelling him to push the limits.
Anib made an error, but his Saab =did= sacrifice itself, as it was designed to do, to save him after he took it outside its safe performance envelope and lost control.
I appreciate his posting the story, and like you, Jim, I toast to his health.
