Do you think the word accident applies to circumstances that used very poor judgement?

Asked by JLeslie (65419points) April 4th, 2014

If a car crashes and the driver was looking down at his phone texting, did he have an accident?

When someone gets hurt because people are rough housing?

When a glass of red wine falls on the white carpet and the glass had been set down at the table’s edge?

When a child gets burned because the pot handle was left sticking out from the stove.

A person gets lost in a snowstorm and almost dies, because they took a remote path.

Are those accidents?
