I'd rather we address the underlying cause of these accidents, personally, rather than just saying "shit happens"

As a young taco enthusiast once asked - - porque no los dos?

It's not a binary issue - - you could address both sides of the problem. Do more to reduce the likelihood of accidents, but also minimise the damage done by accidents. Since there's no magic on/off switch for car accidents, while we figure out the right settings to reduce them, maybe it's wise to use strategies that minimise the damage done by them.
