Society is a balancing of risk and it never gets to zero. If you look at the increases in average life span which have gone up consistently for the last 150 years of technological innovation we are doing something right.

Yes, but the common thing about the risks, you quote, is they are all single events and much less impact. I know all it takes is for one of those to happen and your still dead, but at least i have to be in the area for it to happen. I can be a hundred miles away from a plant, and it can still kill me.
