Are those views or viewers?
If it's the former, another factor (on top of the valid reasons above) is the content of the OP.
For incidents, posters are direct participants: all the info is there (or close), there isn't much room for speculation. A single view is often enough.
For accidents (fatal or serious), information can be trickling in over several day. A few informed reports here and there, and a ton of speculation. Trying to obtain the facts can take a lot of 'views'...
(I'm not saying that divers are immune to the attraction of death, just that it's probably not the only reason for the different figures).
Edit: damn - K girl beat me to it. I guess it proves there is so much noise usually in the accident forum I go through half the posts way too fast?
