An apparatus for preventing a jackrabbit accident using a vehicle black box includes a jackrabbit accident prevention unit that is provided in the vehicle black box, synchronizes an accelerator position signal with a vertical synchronization signal for recording of an image to generate first jackrabbit analysis information to be transmitted to an accident record unit, combines the accelerator position signal with a throttle position signal to be transmitted to the accident record unit as second jackrabbit analysis information and to determine jackrabbit based on the second jackrabbit analysis information, and prevents the jackrabbit accident by automatically shutting off driving power to a fuel pump in the jackrabbit state, and the accident recording unit that provides horizontal and vertical synchronization signals for storing of an image to the jackrabbit accident prevention unit, maps the first jackrabbit analysis information with a recorded image, and stores the mapping result in a memory card.
