There are other "accidents" besides motor vehicle accidents, but the point stands. Even with major advances in organ preservation (like vitrification), if you eliminate car accidents the rate of people going on the transfer list seems likely to exceed the rate of accidental deaths — if you exclude deaths from falls (likely to be elderly, organs not highly viable) and poisoning. EDIT: this of course does not include the fact that a single organ donor can save multiple lives. I have no idea what the average lives saved per donor is, but presumably it could be raised substantially if organs could be preserved indefinitely.
