Actually, this is not correct. Aircraft are designed to be error tolerant with structural safety factors and multiple redundant systems. Cockpit resource management was developed to trap small human errors before they have the chance to propagate and become large errors.
In air travel, there is no room for error. At @TransportDems, I asked @CaptSully and other panelists about how human factors and the blending of new technology impact airplane safety. @DavidShepardsonpic.twitter.com/Uui6lMF5Ab

A single error is rarely enough to cause an accident, which is why crash investigators talk of a causal chain, the breaking of which at any point would have prevented it from happening. Errors are inevitable; the point is to make systems robust enough to deal with them gracefully
