 Ignoring the advice of other HABbers is probably the worst sin; they've already made the mistake that you're about to make if you choose not to listen.  If you're told not to encase that GoPro, not to add heating pads, or (especially) not to launch yet as you're clearly not ready, then please don't assume that you know better.

-Blaming others when it all goes wrong, when the actual fault was allowing one of the above sins to take hold.
+The main one is "neglecting to check that your tracker is actually working before launch".  This seems to be an increasing problem, and is so easily avoided by setting up tracking at the launch site, including uploading to the internet via 3G.  If you launch without  working tracker you might as well not bother.
+This and many other similar errors can be avoided by having a good check-list **and making sure it is followed**.
