A 2% chance of death is actually very high risk for most people. Obviously with a name like dontcare007 I'm sure you've a huge appetite for risk that others don't.

There's a 40% chance Mr. Bond here would have died before his latest film "No Time To Die", if he had a 2% chance of death in each movie ;)

If 2% of domestic flights in the US crashed, that would be about 100 plane crashes. Per day.

An accident rate of less than 1% grounded the Boeing 737 MAX. In a study of the aircraft, the FAA estimated there would have been 15 crashes over 30 years. This was seen as unacceptable.
