freak accidents
Unlikely tragic occurrences
Freak accidents are unusual mishaps that occur through highly improbable circumstances rather than negligence or predictable causes.
The phrase emphasizes randomness and rarity—a piano falling from a window, a stray golf ball through a windshield.
His death was ruled a freak accident.
The term often surfaces when assigning blame seems pointless or impossible.
