You can have as many coincidences/accidents as you like, as long as you are able to maintain [suspension of disbelief](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief). You need to spend more time on Tv Tropes where you will find variations on coincidences/accidents such as Contrived Coincidence, Coincidence Magnet, and Theory of Narrative Causality. If you can suspend disbelief in your audience you can [turn Lake Michigan into a hot fudge sundae](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPbvFv6BJvU), at least on the radio.
