A survey was conducted among the major centers of large magnet development and operation in the USA to obtain information on magnet system failure and accident events. This paper summarizes the results in four tables which indicate the criticality, “why,” “where,” and “how” of the reported events. A brief summary of each of the 31 events covered in the survey is also included.
