historically accidents account for approximately 30 percent of all U.S. Army casualties
1 million people of which 110 000 people served in WW1 of which 73 000 were casualties, which was the second highest (on a percentage of population basis) of all the Allies
There were 1 million British soldiers engaged in the Battle of Somme. Of those million, the British alone suffered 420,000 casualties. If both French and German casualties are entered into the equation, there were more than a million casualties.
About 16 million all together died in the war, about 9.8 million were soldiers. So with that in mind I'd say it wouldn't be much more than 1 million, if that. ----------------------------- The numbers of aircraft in World War 1 were very small. Some of the most successful designs were produced in numbers of 5 - 6,000. An indication of the pilot casualties can be seen from a question raised in the British Parliament 5 months before the end of the war. Of 14,166 Royal Flying Corps pilot casualties in France 8,000 were a result of training accidents. The total number of all pilot casualties would be unlikely to be more than 50,000 - 75,000 on the Western Front. Casualties in training in England and Germany may have been on a similar scale if flight training was actually carried out before pilot officers were sent into the theater of war.
"Casualties" refers to all losses suffered by the armed forces. Total Allied casualties on D-Day are estimated at 10,000, including 2500 dead. The total German casualties on D-Day are not known, but are estimated as being between 4000 and 9000 men.

This is going to take a lot of calculation. There were 159 fatalities in Maine in 2009, the last year information is available for, but the number of all accidents is not available. We do have the number of accidents (10.8 million) and number of fatalities (35,900) nationwide, which means about .33% of accidents are fatal. If we apply that percentage to the Maine fatalities, we get 48,181 accidents per year, or 132 accidents per day.
