Experimenting

In academia we have labs that force us to try an experiment deemed "safe" from our teaching professional. As we grow and learn we try new things, for example, what happens when I cut my sisters hair or make my own parachute?
At what point in our lives do we stop experimenting and choose the safe route?
It has been noted that Thomas Edison experimented over 10,000 times with the light bulb before it worked. Is the pain and stigma of failing so over powering that we discredit the experiment before we ever put pen to paper.
What tiny experiment can we take today to make one step to making our own light bulb?
