I may be wrong, but until the current LG Melvyn Ong took over as the COA/CDF MINDEF/SAF had not experienced any training-related deaths for a while since 2012.

Worse, after a halt of some 5 years, the recent deaths are all machinery/humans induced; not acts of god like being hit by a random tree/lightning or a sudden heart attack.

So these seemed to indicate human lapses, especially when operating machineries. The Air Force and Navy seemed to managed heavy machineries better as the safety culture is more imbued into them.

Human lapses and negligent always trace back to leadership and management or the lack of them.
