I'd guess accidents happen more when kids are playing outside, maybe?

Hikari

Actually, it's when they're rushing—leaving home late or hurrying back after forgetting something.

Momoka

Oh, so being in a hurry makes them less careful?

Hikari

Exactly. Rushed kids don't check their surroundings as carefully, so always leave with time to spare.
