Actually there have been two where trains went smashing out or control causing damage beyond repaid and multiple casualties.....not.

On 10 March 1987, before the railway opened, a test train crashed through station buffer stops at the original high-level terminus Island Gardens station and was left hanging from the end of the elevated track. The accident was caused by unauthorised tests being run before accident-preventing modifications had been installed. The train was being driven manually at the time.

Collision at West India Quay bridge

On 22 April 1991, two trains collided at a junction on the West India Quay bridge during morning rush hour, requiring a shutdown of the entire system and evacuation of the involved passengers by ladder.[98][99] One of the two trains was travelling automatically, operating without a driver, while the other was under manual control.

Compared to other forms of transport, I'd say that's a 100% track (no pun intended) record...
