One sure way to get bit, is to convince yourself that "you're too skilled to ever get bit".
Indeed all bites are due to human error.

i definitely make mistakes, but i've never been complacent when doing anything dangerous. i take pride in not making big mistakes. i don't wanna shoot a nail through my arm at work and haven't in 7+ years, while others have done it multiple times. i've never caused a wreck and don't feel that i ever will. i've never been bitten and would also like to keep it that way. if i ever felt out of control i'd simply quit doing what i was doing and concede the fact that i wasn't capable anymore.
when i get too old to drive, i'm calling my kids to run me around.
i can see your point about mistakes but i just feel like that's the wrong attitude to have if you're going to mess with anything dangerous to start with.
you don't have to be perfect, just good enough
