Gruesome Accident Generator

↑ XKCD, on death stats.


This page will generate plausible accident stories with some nonsense thrown in, based on US Consumer Product Safety Commision statistics. The narrative fields have been mined from the US database and collected together, a Markov chain parody generator is then used to pull together a personal set of accidents just for you. If you would like to have a go yourself offline, try getting some data from the previous link and use the WordFrequency.jar tool below.

Current features include:

  1. Real world accident narratives from the last decade.
  2. Sensible personalisation of accidents.
  3. Markov chain based parody of original accidents to hopefully avoid any legality issues?
  4. Output ties in with the audiobook hack so that you can have a spoken accident report!
