An absence of accidents does not mean that a system is safe, just that an accident has not happened yet.

That is why we collect the data and continuing improving safety margins. Just like every next gen automobile has an improvement in safety features.
However, thinking like that should make you stay home and don't go out, as you may potentially get involved in accident.
But wait! Did you know that statistically over 18,000 americans die at home every year due to:
Falls
Poisonings
Suffocation
Drowning
Inadequate railings and banisters
Unsafe storage of medications
Water heaters set too high
Firearms improperly stored or locked up
...and over 21 Million Americans that survive accidents, visit an emergency rooms, adding up to $220 billion in medical costs
Agin, this is an absurd!
