Another concern is that choosing to have an accident can be a sensible decision. Obvious examples include EFATO turnbacks, hitting the far hedge rather than the near one in a forced landing. Precautionary landings with a relatively high risk of damage.

I wonder whether insisting too strongly on a zero-accident record might make for more dangerous pilots?
