There's a theory of accidents that I studied when I was making a film about nuclear weapons: you can never eliminate accidents, because the measures you introduce to prevent accidents actually produce more accidents. That's certainly true of this sport; you're flying over 40 feet of what might look like snow, but it's hard as ice, it's as hard as pavement. You're doing acrobatic spins and tricks, 40 feet above pavement, essentially. There's been more accidents since, and there are going to continue to be more accidents, that's the nature of the sport.

Lucy Walker

Do not ride in cars: they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents. Do not stay at home: 17% of all accidents occur in the home. Do not walk on the streets or pavements: 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians. Do not travel by air, rail, or water: 16% of accidents happen on these. Only .001% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Hence the safest place for you to be at any time is at church!

Mark Leslie

There are many accidents that are nothing but accidents-and forget it. But there are some that were brought about only because you are the person you are... you have the wherewithal, intelligence, and energy to recognize it and do something with it.

Helen Frankenthaler

Accidents happen, whether they're car accidents, friendly fire, drug overdoses. Accidents happen, and they're tragic. It's like a bomb that goes off and pieces of shrapnel rip into the flesh of the family. It's the families that need the compassion, because everywhere they walk, every day, someone reminds them of their loss.

James Belushi

Accidents are just from where you're looking; to the ego, it looks like it's miracles and accidents.

Ram Dass

Accidents happen and all of that, but it's how we pick ourselves up from the accidents that matters.

Aquaria

Single life should be experimental in nature and open to accidents. Some accidents are happy ones.

Barbara Holland

If you go around looking for accidents, asking for them, they can't be called accidents any more.

Margaret Millar

Accidents, and particularly street and highway accidents, do not happen - they are caused.

Ernest Greenwood

I've had a bunch of accidents. If you hunt, you're gonna have some accidents.

Boo Weekley

Accidents don't happen to people who take accidents as a personal insult.

Mario Puzo

Accidents are not accidents but precise arrivals at the wrong right time.

Dejan Stojanovic

I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.

Pablo Picasso

The kind of accidents you prefer to call...accidents.

Terry Pratchett

Decrements in attention and concentration, being able to learn more efficiently, that's just not as good. Also, there are motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, we see that a lot.

Shelby Harris

Every coach always worries about accidents happening. I was very fortunate as a head coach that we were never in any accidents. But when you hear about them happening to other schools, it is very sad.

Fred Williams
