When you redirect, you lose all of the current environment (including the error, why it happened, etc.). This is almost never what you want to do. You want to fall through to re-render the form, and it will properly display the error messages and allow the user to recover without re-entering all of the data again. Use the rails scaffold command to make a new model/controller/view. Look at what it does. This is the expected behavior that you differ from at your peril!
