Evan makes a good point there actually. The human mindset is to not be blameworthy for anything that goes wrong, to not have to be in the position where others say "xxxxxxxxx happened and it was YOUR fault" This attitude extends past life itself. While obviously not being particularly happy to die in an air crash, a pilot will prefer to go with the knowledge that it wasn't his fault rather than to be remembered by all and sundry that he was the fool who caused all those deaths.
Personal pride is a very powerful emotion.
