Yeah, or my preferred pattern:

unless user.valid?
  flash[:error] = "Possibly something custom"
  redirect or render something
  return
end
user.save

Actually, now that I've written that out, maybe save! and rescue is more compact

user.save!
rescue WhateverThatExceptionIsCalled => e
  redirect_somewhere
end
