Default Undershoot Vs. Overshoot airport landing accidents

I always assumed that there are more overshoot airport accidents than
undershoot ones. That is mainly due to our general knowledge that it's
better to be too high than not high enough.
Am I correct here ?

I once saw a pilot fly the full length of a 1000yd grass airfield, then do
a 180 and fly all the way back, try another 180 until the wingtip hit, and
crash, all the while with the wheel going up and down. Fortunately just a
bent glider, no injury.
