Me neither. Seconds, mere seconds to check that gun. It just boggles the mind the lengths to which some will go to justify not spending those several seconds. Several seconds that would have saved that woman's life. Incredible.

Follow procedures and either system works perfectly. Don't follow procedure and either method will fail.
The movie set wants to limit the number of people loading and unloading the weapon. I can understand that reasoning. If Craigsters count of 3 deaths on movie sets is accurate I would say that their safety performance has been outstanding. I am sure there have been many deaths due to people not following public gun safety...always check the gun...and that policy also has an outstanding safety record, though, like the movie set, not a perfect record.
No policy is foolproof. Humans make mistakes.
