You call diving in the ocean and swimming near whales "basically anything"? Diving itself is pretty high risk and the fatality rate isn't as low as you might think. You comparing essential daily activity to recreational diving in whale infested waters as equals is a quite mind boggling.
Given how many "An X Year Old Person Died in This Intersection This Year" signs I pass just going about my day, I don't think the fatality rate of essential daily activity is as low as you might think.
If a thing happens once, you decide it's categorically unsafe? Not a freak accident?
Must be rough for you to actually do anything, given the how many possibilities there are to accidentally die doing basically anything.
