Human error accidents: These accidents result from mistakes or negligence on the part of individuals involved, such as distracted driving or failure to follow safety protocols.
Understanding these classifications can help in developing effective preventive measures and safety protocols to reduce the occurrence of accidents and mitigate their impacts.
By analyzing the different types of accidents and their underlying causes, individuals and organizations can proactively address potential risks and create safer environments for everyone.
Examples for an end state in aviation: in an incident the end state could be a "Controlled Flight Towards Terrain" which is then recovered, while in an accident it would be a "Controlled Flight Into Terrain", which cannot be recovered.
The causal factors leading to either one can be analysed with one and the same accident classification system.
