    If it isn’t intentional then isn’t it by definition an accident?

    If I break my leg while mountainbiking it seems a bit unreasonable to claim that it wasn’t an accident because mountainbiking is an extreme sport and this could’ve been avoided if I was knitting instead.

      I’m speeding through a school zone at 60km/h… I didnt INTEND to kill anyone, but i didnt see the crosswalk and mowed down a bunch of pedestrians.

      This is not an accident. Entirely preventable. Intent doesnt matter

      The vast majority of car collisions are entirely avoidable.
