I've only seen a handful of serious accidents at events ever since Belegarth began. (And some of those were the same person, he's just got a knack for it.)
I've seen a LOT more medium and minor injuries at practices. Of course, there are only 10 or so events a year that most will make, and practices can be 1-4 times a week, depending on where you live, so I'd say you're a lot more likely to get hurt during practice, just based on the sheer amount of fighting that takes place locally vs. big events. (Holy run on sentence, batman!)
I'd have to say your best chance for injury is during a smaller practice, just because you're doing them a lot more during the year than a big event, and you're fighting a lot more during a smaller practice too. It doesn't take as long for 20 people to die as it does for 300+.
