I couldnt agree more anthonyk, but I do not see any reliably researched reports appearing on most internet forums. They are more like Chinese Whispers.

There are 2 major problems that need to be addressed if you want reliable and meaningful reports:
1. Identification of all relevant incidents
2. Investigation of those incidents by the right group of people whose attributes might include: solid climbing experience, good interviewing skills, no preconceived ideas, ability to maintain confidentiality and who represent a credible organisation and who present their results in a meaningful way, whether this be as illustrative case reports or as series of accidents related to a common cause.
