Some older palmistry texts, particularly from the 19th and early 20th centuries, claimed that certain marks could predict accidents. A deep break in the life line was said to predict a life threatening accident. An island on the head line was said to predict a head injury. A cross on a mount was said to predict a sudden accident.
These claims have no scientific basis. They have caused significant anxiety and harm. Modern, responsible palmistry rejects accident prediction entirely. No palm reader should ever tell you that your hand shows an impending accident.
If a reader makes this claim, walk away. They are either misinformed or unethical.
