Hindsight is 20/20 of course. Though I do agree more "accidents" of this kind are due to some level of negligence. I have been at fault before. I was putting my guns into a new safe and did not properly inspect the safe's upper shelf in the light beforehand. As I set my, then loaded, model 10 on the shelf it dropped behind (I dumbly assumed the shelf went all the way to the back of the safe), it then rolled down the rifles and landed barrel first onto the floor. Luckily my instinct was to let it fall and not grab at it. It never went off but boy did I feel stupid...and lucky. I am not speaking for everyone but sometimes success makes us not so sharp, then things like that happen to remind us we can never be lazy with firearms.
