Calamity -- can't dice bananas (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accident

'calamity' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'can't dice bananas' is the wordplay.
'bananas' is an anagram indicator (informal term for mad).
'cant'+'dice'='cantdice'
'cantdice' anagrammed gives 'ACCIDENT'.

(Other definitions for accident that I've seen before include "disaster" , "Unforeseen mishap" , "Unforseen misfortune" , "Dance tic leading to mishap" , "Unexpected and unplanned event" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
