I don’t know where I saw that number, but supposedly the mean age of an immortal human will be 500 years due to accidents. True immortality is not a thing.

Maybe 500 years by today's behavioral standards. I assume that if people were told you could live ~forever barring an accident leading to your death, many people in society would behave VERY differently. The risk profile of you or me getting in a car to drive to the store is VERY different than someone with age-and-sickness-proof-but-accident-vulnerable immortality.

It also increases the cost of martyrdom.

Incidentally this is one reason why people in the past seemed braver than now and did crazier things. When your life expectancy is 25, you take a lot more risks.
