Merriam-Webster gives two definitions for Mishap:

The Oxford Advanced American Dictionary defines it as:
  1. a small accident or piece of bad luck that does not have serious results
Yes, it’s somewhat ironic. More so when you look at definitions of ‘accident’ such as:

an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.
"he had an accident at the factory"
​​​​​​​which actually fit the definition intended precisely!
