That link is WRONG.

The LIFETIME chance of being killed in any transport accident is 77 to 1, That is NOT the odds for just next year.


More to the point, the LIFETIME ODDS of dying in an accident are about 33 to 1.

The ONE YEAR odds of dying in an accident (of any kind) is roughly 2661 to 1.


Clearly then I would gladly take 10 million by taking one shot from a gun with 2662 chambers.
