I do not think this is a good idea.

When serious accidents have happened, people have been hurt and it is inappropriate to trivialise injuries by making a list to browse through.

A lot of accidents are not public knowledge and it is not our place to add to rumours and to spread information that the people involved want to remain private, we do not want to embarrass any performers. We are dealing with people's careers, their professional lives.

And any incident that does not have any negative aspect to it is likely to be trivial, mundane, and not note-worthy. I've seen Bill Bailey tear the sleeve of his unitard. wow. not very interesting.

Instead of a list of accidents, it would be more appropriate to add information to the performer's page in a sensitive way, appropriate to the incident. Such as, copying and properly attributing an interview in which they talk about what happened. (Simply linking to sources for information often fails when the source website updates and deletes old information; it's better to copy the text AND link to the source, and credit the authors properly.  It's more formatting but it's worth it.)  Or mentioning it as explanation why they left the show suddenly, in the form of a footnote. Remember that the performer's page is likely to be read by the performer themselves, as well as their friends and family, so consider if it is something they would consider worth including about them as a professional.
