The accident error chain is usually a series of small events that led up the mishap. And, "but for" one of those events then the accident might not have occurred. Because of so many daily actions and fast paced events, error chains are sometimes tough to see before the accident. This is why a proactive safety program is so important. That way we don't rely on blood priority to change out an error routine. After a complete and detailed mishap investigation the error chain events become painfully clear. Your job as an investigator is to look beyond the words "pilot error" and discover all factors that might have created the mishap. We must always ask, "why did a supposedly qualified and trained crew make an error?" The words "pilot or maintenance" error tell us nothing! Always find OUT WHY!!
A comprehensive investigation may find other issues not related to the mishap, but could be a factor for another type of mishap. We may discover training issues, non-mishap related fatigue issues, maintenance issues, or ATC problems.
We say "Probable Cause", as we were not there at the instant the event became a mishap. So, we can't say with 100% proof that the probable cause was "THE" cause. (Now, that's a PEARL for a test!)
We do use "probable cause" as the event that created the mishap. Example: Say an airliner executed a landing with excessive speed and the pilot lost control and ran off the runway. The accident is within that sequence of events where, by NTSB definition of an accident, it became a reality. In this case, it's where damage or injury equated to NTSB 830 Accident definition.
OK, in the above scenario we find nothing wrong with the plane, etc. but we discover the pilot was very fatigued and tired. Well, the probable cause was an excessive airspeed and a failure to properly maintain control of the aircraft. NOW, at that point we would investigate further and try to discover why the pilot was fatigued. Maybe, the PIC was rushed, sick, a CRM issue, weather or ATC issues etc. Or, all of these little things became the error chain that lead to an irreversible error. Anybody recall the
American 1491(?) flight where the aircraft ran off the runway and crashed. Read that report. Anyway, in our original scenario those contributing factors notwithstanding, the "probable cause" was the failure to maintain positive control. Alas, if the PIC had not lost control and had gotten the
plane stopped, then there would have only been smoking tires and no accident, maybe. As you might suspect probable cause and contributing causes can be a little confusing and overlapping. So, there's some basic concepts good for either aircraft accident or homicide investigations.
The last step in an accident chain is "Result." This step details what occurs right after, and even later on, the accident.
An accident chain is a series of events or actions which are linked together to form an accident. Accident chains may vary according to the type of accident. If there is a vehicle crash during a storm, the accident chain will include the individual, the vehicle, the road conditions, and the weather conditions. If a person breaks their leg on a slippery floor in a supermarket, the accident chain will include the supermarket, the wet floor, the slip, and the individual.
I believe whomever caused the accident is at fault, whether their car was damaged or not. * The evidence compiled in the accident investigation will determine the responsible party. To determine who is at fault in a vehicle accident investigators use a method referred to as "chain of causation" and begin the investigation with the vehicle that was last in motion. This does not necessarily mean that the driver of said vehicle is the one responsible for the accident. It is quite possible that the driver of the vehicle that was not damaged will be the one determined to be responsible for causing the accident.

No. This is referred to as "chain of causation". Meaning an accident was created by the another vehicle that was involved. Accident investigators begin with the last vehicle involved or that was last in motion as best they can decern. They progress from that point on to the final results of the accident and then make an evaluation as to responsibility. In this instance all drivers waiting at the light would not be at fault.

We are not too smart doing this. Never tow a vehicle with a chain, as this is a accident waiting to happen.
