Usually human error, not the precast or steel or CIP

This just goes to show that until it is finished, it may still be vulnerable. There have been very few collapses of completed precast structures, and the numbers of failures during construction is low for the number of structures in place.
Every kind of construction has its critical phases for safety, and each presents its own set of risks. Managing those risks effectively is key to a successful project.
