They aren't accidents if they're statistically consistent and predictable.

Within accidents about 8,000 are falls, 7,000 are drug overdoses, and 2,000 are car accidents.

There are ~21,000 "accidents causing death" per year of ~330,000 deaths per year.

I'm more concerned that the first two causes of death are intentional ducks

Official vocab guidelines state we no longer refer to these incidents as acccidents, they're now collisions.

That's last year's term. We're now calling them unintended inter-vehicular contact events.

Well, obviously we need to ban accidents. Someone needs to put some legislation on the table that criminalizes this shit, before it destroys the fabric of our society.
