The most serious accidents are falls typically caused by climber error such as not anchoring correctly, failure to tie a rope properly or simply losing your footing. Poor physical conditioning is also a common cause of climbing accidents. If you aren't in good shape, you're more likely to get hurt.

Most accidents that happen when rock climbing result from one of two things: Lack of experience and Faulty equipment. When new go with an experienced person who has done this for a few years. Pay attention and learn all the safety commands. Secondly, when your equipment gets old replace it.

The most common is either letting go of the rope, or just a simple slip of the hand or the foot on the rocks above or below. Make sure that you have a good grip is the best advice!
