Like spilling a cup of coffee on yourself before an important interview...or forgeting to set the alarm clock for the morning of an early flight.

I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but I beleive in the law of attraction, and this deals with your question. The law of attraction is a universal law, like gravity, you can beleive in it or not, but everybody is experiencing it regardless. It deals with what your subconcious mind is focusing on, whether negative or positive, and draws these things to you. So in a way you are right, there are no accidents, they are actually what our subconcious minds are focused on, whether we are aware of it or not.

They are indeed accidents, unless there is a definite plot of mayhem. Please note a presentation scenario that we all face, and many times its being in the wrong place at the right time or visa versa as is stated in the Bible:
(Ecclesiastes 9:11) “11Â I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all.”
--It would seem that we have very little control over accidents, but we do have fairly good results if we are careful without paranoia.
--As to Subconcious intentions, that would be a study of great magnitude, which might be very difficult to make a case out of.

That's a really good question.
I think some people do some things because they need drama in their life, so i'm not sure if its subconscious or not? like going out with someone they know's going to hurt them, or putting themselves in situations that stress them out. But thats not really accidents.
Other than that, i think accidents are just that. Something most of the time you wish never happened.

If you believe Sigmund Freud, there is no such thing as an accident. I personally believe that there are things outside of our subconscious that will happen regardless of our intent. Dare I tie fate into such a debate? Perhaps I should leave it at that. Terrific question for the ages.

I guess the most concise answer would be that all "apparent" accidents are not "actual" accidents, but some are.
Our subconscious drives, fears and biases are always in play. Whether we consciously (and successfully) resist is another issue.

How do we recognize unconscious motivation?
1. when the person acts in ways that can produce consequences and denies what he is trying to produce
2. when he manifests many expressive signs of emotional tension, feelings and so on, without acknowledging to the observance that he feels any of these things.
3. when there are obvious inconsistencies in behavior at different times, for example, kindness and brutality, intelligent and stupid behavior.
sometimes accidents are due to stupidity, clumsiness, carelessness, so it might be unconscious.

All sleep is sleep.
And Sleep must be paid for...
Intention is the begining of being awake!
