Left handed people are inclined to be accident prone, in part because everything is designed for right handed people.

Not really. I’m way less accident prone than my right-handed wife. And oddly enough not everything actually is designed for right-handed people. Cars, at least outside England, are significantly better for left-handed people. I have my good hand to reach out the window for ATMs and drive-thrus, I drive a stick and that means my good hand is on the wheel while I shift.

I am left handed and found that fishing reels were designed for left handed people; Cast left and crank right.

Right handed people cast right, change hands and crank right. Fun to watch the fishing shows and the pros did same.

Recent decades have seen spin cast reels made with interchangeable crank handles but it was not for lefties.

Archery is another war/sport item designed for lefties though right handed people never knew this and why.
