"And why it happens all the time to Brits?"
I wonder as well.
Even given the number of British tourists relative to other nationalities is seem like Brits are in more than their share of these disaster stories.
United Kingdom: 121,529 tourists visited in January.
United States: 118,038 tourists in January.
Taiwan: 116,779 tourists in January.
Germany: 112,828 tourists in January.
France: 110,515 tourists in January.
