And yet, there is now a new artificial reef in the lagoon, so apparently some groups didn't get that memo. Thing is, humans continuously breach rules in small and large extents, with best of intentions and for other reasons. Sometimes, the fact that humans do not follow rules well is the reason that outcomes are successful. The crew at PTKK probably didn't wake up in the morning thinking it was a great day to go swimming and revalidate their SEP's.
People bust rules, hardware just busts. Question is from a systems view how to harden the operation to assure outcomes don't include tears or repacking of liferafts.
