Good question!
Relying on the MC to fail forward sensibly and constructively is exactly what I love about Apocalypse World.
No game mechanic can do that for you in a reliable way. Games that don't have the same concept of failing forward still rely on the GM to present sensible and constructive things to the players, they just don't tell the GM WHEN to do it.
