Like many alluded to it is a matter of negligence and poor gun handling that causes most gun accidents. That said I have never heard of anybody ever being shot with a gun that doesn't have a cartridge in the chamber though thousands of hunters around the world have been killed or maimed over the decades with one in the chamber and somehow the safety got switched off or malfunctioned, it has happened to even the most adept practitioners of safety.That said the most life threatening part about hunting is the drive to and from the hunting area.
Each to their own.
