Ok. FWIW,
a) I didn't know this page existed. It was news to me that there's a place where the official details will be (or not). That's kind of interesting right?
b) It's in the title.

Quite everything does, and if you take the many ‘non-massive’ fatal accidents of modern roads together, you get one uber-massive fatal accident – so it might well be worth risking one ‘massive fatal accident’ if it avoids 500 smaller ones.

Do risks make something not worth doing? If it was the case, we wouldnt have airplanes because they can cause a fatal accidents. NASA wouldn't have attempted any shuttle launches because that can and has caused fatal accidents. Medicines can cause fatal accidents. DRIVING can cause fatal accidents. So would you rather sit at home in fear or attempt to do amazing things after doing everything you can to make them as safe as possible.
Wish I'd thought of that. You win the internet!
