I don't think update_attributes or push have bang versions. If they do, they don't appear in the API.

For instance: @page.update_attributes(params[:page]) or @page.contents.push(@new_content) Could I just add a ! on the end and have it raise an exception when it fails?

to only catch the ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid errors otherwise when
you screw something else up it's a real pain to debug.
Transactions are more elegant for the multi save stuff, but save! is a
great way to deal with validation.
