Introduction
An accident is an occurrence that can interrupt the completion of an activity. This process may result in injuries and damages. In the modern world, accidents can be caused by a magnitude of factors such as human behavior, systems and organization failure. There has been debate why there is advancement in technology, but accidents have continued to rise. In fact, some have argued that technology has contributed more to these accidents since the rate at which they are occurring is more than the way they were before. Experts have tried to connect the number of accidents that occur to what causes them. For instance, it has been noted that inexperienced drivers often underestimate the magnitude of an accident before it happens in their lives. They only realize it after it has happened. Accidents are commonly taken as different from what causes or lead to diseases. As a result, accident remains the only major cause of deaths which has made atheists to claim that accidents are an act of God. Accidents should only be analyzed by scientists and theologians since they are unique, and it is hard to understand their cause. Moreover, these studies should be subjected to more rigorous and sophisticated scientific methodology. In fact, research in accidents is something that has taken place without clear concepts hence should be studied keenly. This paper looks at some of the reasons why accidents have continued to take place even after 100 years of technological development (Shappell et al., 2007, p.228).
