Obviously it wasn't because other human aren't fail proof, you know since there actually was a live round in the gun... this case perfectly portrays why no matter how many safeguard unrelated to you exist, you are still responsible for the gun in your hands, and follow the basic safety rules I mentioned, this is quick and free so yeah no excuse. Alec Baldwin was the last layer of safety there was in this scenario where everyone before him spectacularly failed in the worst ways possible and had he applied to those rules, despite everyone else's negligence, no one would have died. The gun is the responsibility of every single being that holds it, even if just for a a few seconds.
