Not quite the same thing but I've had several ideas* and seen them hit the market (and make a fortune) years later. But having once started an R&D company I'm quite happy that somebody else had went through all the bullshit and political stress involved.

*e.g. using a cellphone as an eftpos card.

Is that along the same lines as taking something to the tip, having second thoughts just before you throw it  into the skip.  Then coming home and finding out it's collectible and pulling big money on ebay?

No crash, that's more of an ," OH,OH " moment ; which are funnier . Like when a mate of mine took the mirrors off his new trail bike . Only to throw them both, and break them , p

Went to my boss in the 70's and said " lets make this small wood chipper idea , I rekon they might sell".
He said " NA ".
40 years later I  reminded him of that and he says " yer I missed that one ".

Duhh
