That argument proves to much.

Example: Considering that there is no pricer higher than dying, the benefit of <leaving the house/taking a car instead of walking/...> must be infinite to outweigh the risk.

But people leave houses all the time, and take cars and planes etc.

That just says something about the ability to calculate risk and suppress the fear of dying, not about the cost of dying.
