I'd venture to say that the majority of accidents could be prevented by tightening the loose nut behind the handlebars before one goes out on a ride.
In the interest of letting some humor into the initial days of the Crash Analysis forum, this thread will be allowed to continue for a limited amount of time. Eventually, it will be locked.

didn't know that was a decreasing radius, so i leaned over till it lowsided. my fault
didn't know there was even a turn, so i motocrossed my fzr between 2 trees and into some soft dirt. my fault
onramp was completely covered in deisel. not my fault
Rider went down so I made a u-turn to go see what happened and slipped on the same spot. There was oil in the road. not my fault
According to BARF it's my fault every time

The Hurt Report said that something like 3% of all motorcycle accidents were mechanical failures, that's counting tire blowouts. Insignificant number.
In other news, I crashed because the BMW I was riding had horrible feedback due to the paralever/telelever suspensions.

What are you complaining about? You asked for assorted lame excuses and you got a bunch of assorted lame excuses. If you wanted empirical evidence to justify crash results you should have asked for empirical evidence to justify crash results. Your original question has been answered in kind.

I got distracted by the interesting appearance of my own shadow on the road. When I crashed, I was trying to make a bunny rabbit shape with my hands.

I crashed because I thought a teenage driver saw me because she was looking right at me....I think...maybe she was looking at the car behind me....or the sunset...I forget..I bumped my head.

Yeah, I'm gonna derail the thread- sorry Tim.
VNE you hit the nail on the head.
99% of all equipment issues on a bike can be handled by a GOOD pre-ride check... just like any pilot checks out their aircraft.
My father who is a pilot always said after a crash "Some folks shouldda just bought a boat." My version : Some people should have bought a jet-ski :teeth
The more hazards you can eliminate before a ride- the better. I am far from being a mechanic but I sure as hell know when something isn't working right and call a professional if I can't resolve it. The other thing is to know enough when to call it a day. Tires worn out? Go get them changed instead of going out for a ride.

I'm with you, but I'm going to take it a step farther. While I agree that a rider should 'pre-flight' their bike before each ride, I'm going to take it a step farther and say that they need to 'pre-fight' themselves. Have a plan on where you are going. Have a predetermined plan on what to do when your personal cues are triggered to tell you that you are riding over your head. Then have a plan on what to do (slow down/take a break/let the faster rider go ahead/etc).
