I agree that they can be a little confusing to those who don’t remember what they were taught, if they were taught anything. And so,e are worse than others - they put in two near major freeway exits in my city and I remember - even as someone who’s very comfortable and loves them - it seemed the signs indicating the lane to use for various destinations were way too late. (They have been subsequently taken out and replaced with ?diamond interchanges? Which are clearer to use, but involve stopping at lights and waiting.)

But even if there were an accident it’s way less likely to be as bad as one in any other kind of intersection. Everyone slows down and is a bit more cautious. There are too many references but if you google roundabout safety statistics you’ll see more about it.
