A raccoon chewed my brake lines once, and I couldn’t stop and hit a garbage can. A raccoon is not someone, but it was the cause. I blame it. I don’t know if you can call it a natural disaster, those bastards are smart. I bet he did it so he could get at the garbage in the can.

You’d be a complete duma** to be hit and killed be a meteor.

Hit and killed by a meteor.

Black ice would qualify.
It doesn’t matter had slow and careful you are driving,
You can not see it, and when you hit a patch,
You will lose control of your car.
You cannot really say, the person shouldn’t have been driving in such conditions, because black ice usually occurs when the roads are clear.
Speed isn’t really a factor, because once your tires lose traction, you can slide over into another lane before the best defensive driving technique can regain control.
Also, how about ice under snow?
You can be as careful as you can be walking, but if you hit unseen ice at just the right moment, like in the process of taking a step, you can fall and cause an accident.
I go through this every week as a supervisor at a factory.
Management wants a reason for every single accident or incident and a corrective action to prevent any future reoccurance.
But it is not always possible to have corrective actions that will prevent reoccurances.

The more I thought about it, the more I agree with you. I can’t think of anything that wouldn’t involve some level of not paying attention.

Any mechanical item has the potential to wear out or break. Springs snap, belts break, some parts rust “from the inside out,” automatic transmissions sometimes don’t shift to the right gear.
You know these things happen because there are service technicians everywhere (even if you haven’t needed one yet). An accident caused by those things would lack someone being “responsible” for the accident.
No machine works forever or lasts forever. (Well, maybe a Toyota, but…)

An accident is almost always the direct result of negligence. A natural disaster is just that a natural disaster, any of the deaths or injuries that result for a natural disaster are due to lacking infrastructure, lacking education or insufficient maintenance of a structure.

quantum indeterminacy

It is just that kind of thinking that is destroying our country and the world in general!

When through this question while still in High School driver ed. We came to the conclusion there is no incident that can be claimed to be an accident without fault.
