72. By your logic, russian roulette is not a safety risk.
At worst, 15% experience death. 85% of single time Russian Roulette players DO NOT experience deadly complications, so I feel that it is safe to say that russian roulette is NOT an automatic safety risk.

Same statistics. 15%.

-------
You don't seem to grasp the concept of "RISK."

A pregnancy includes a 15% risk of complications that result in death (and a much higher risk of other serious complications - in that regard, russian roulette is actually safer for most women in the world.)
