The fallacy of accident is committed when a generally true sentence is taken to be true in cases where a special factor, an “accident”, does not allow it. For instance, while it is generally accepted that airplanes are safe, it would be wrong to think that they remain safe in extreme weather conditions. The converse fallacy of accident is to generalize from cases where special factors are at play. It would be fallacious, then, to assert that simply because flight in extreme weather conditions is dangerous, it is generally dangerous.
