Hell I'd say your double right, accidents are definitely influenced by the system that precipitates them. Redundant safety features, emergency protocol training, protective gear, preventative maintainance...under our current system, all of these things cost money, and since profit is the primary motive, they will be the first things to be slashed when say, the price of energy goes up and they decide to maintain profits by cutting overhead.

Half the episodes on Well There’s Your Problem are "this vital part was removed or left unmaintained for legal or financial reasons until it caused an explosive train derailment."
