If you take many definition and sort it, you will find similarity between some of them. In statistic, there is a way to determine when to stop your search of data and have a good idea of the population you are studying. bad luck, take the risk...are not trad words. Bad luck happen very rarely...when you climb and there is a party above you that you can't see from the bottom. Other way, it is always the fault of the leader. In the gunks the women did the route previously and thing that she will be able to red point it in one pitch. She free the bottom because it was under her belt, she felt an died. This kind of accident is purely sport accident. A trad climber never trade safety of protecting a 5.6 pitch to the performance of doing a 5.11. but a trad climber can decide to do a run out if his chance of major injury in a fall is acceptable by his technique of falling. There is less people who love to climb with friends like going to a hike where you go where nobody had gone before. where you are your own master of your destiny. it could be a 5.6 or a 5.10...who care. It is a kind of sport where the personnal development is more important than the social hierarchie. Where you leave the world of work to have plain joy. As we saw sport accident in trad climbing site falling like apple from a three...people who associate accident with trad will be more numerous and climbing will be a sport like skating whit a rank and competition.
