Accident means getting involved in a unfortunate incidents.  Accidents actually happens unexpectedly and people caught in a accident is chance caught in it.Accidents can result in the injury as well as in the damage. for example a accident between a car and bike is always unexpected and can cause  minor to major injury to the person involving it.

On the other hand risky behaviours are those in which there is always chance to get caught in the accidents. It's actually the chance to take the risk. One might be   able to survive and get benefit out of it or can caught in accident. For example one wheeling on bike is a risky behaviour.

Accidents:
In general, an unplanned, unexpected, and undesigned effect which occur suddenly and causes
1. Injury or loss
2. A decrease in value of resources
3. Increase in Liabilities
is called an accident.
Risky Behaviour:
Risky behaviour or risk taking behaviour is defined as an unconsciously controlled behaviour with a perceived uncertainty about its outcome, its possible benefits or costs for the physical, economic or psycho-social well being of oneself or others. For example, we might gamble on a lottery even though we know that the odds are firmly against us.
Thus at some point in our lives, we all enagage in behaviours that are either risky or unwise.
