That's widely understood, but I hope nobody is boiling their salads in response to that statistic. Maybe tomorrow I'll trip on my shoelace and crack my skull open on the sidewalk, but I'm not going to wear a helmet just in case. There is an endless supply of extremely low probability ways to die, but if you spend your time worrying about all that crap you'll ironically hasten your own demise by stressing yourself out. Round those small possibilities down to zero and stop worrying about it.
