Actually no. But we usually script our actions and test the scripts prior to doing anything in production. As a sys admin, I've restored enough casualties of the "rm -rf *" command to be rather careful about it myself.

I was wondering if anyone had. But I could turn this around too and give an example of when duplexing the redos failed to save me. One so-called patch that Compaq released for Tru64 actually caused disk writes to be unreliable (OH MY GOD!!). And we wound up with a G.D. mess in spite of the redos being duplexed all nice and official.
