When you’re getting to know someone.. and they share something like “I had a really bad accident” is it okay to ask them what happened?

Sure I'd ask.. Seems like they're inviting you to ask!! Why else would they mention it? UNless as a deterrence...................... But I think I might just be looking too deep into this hypothetical situationnnnnnnn!! ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ
