Sure, we make those decisions every day. Everything we do has a risk to our lives and others, and we decide if it is "worth it" constantly. You can die playing baseball, skiing, jogging, etc. You can die from being vaccinated. Most deaths are caused by lifestyle choices.
Whenever some outfit says "safety is our top priority" that's marketing, not reality. A 100% safe automobile would never move an inch. You make a value judgement about life in the choice of car you drive, how you drive, where you drive, how often you drive, etc.
