You clearly haven't reviewed (or perhaps understood) the wide difference in the statistics involved with both.

If there was an 0.4% chance of me being killed by being hit in the head by a comet, and if wearing a bike helmet would give me a 75% chance of surviving, then yes, I would want the choice to walk around in my stupid bike helmet.

That's about the level of risk and investment we are talking about here.
