"Everything in one's power"? See that's the issue. It's not reasonable to do "everything in one's power" to avoid a risk that's statistically improbable. And guess what? You don't actually do that. You don't do everything in your power to avoid horrible risks. What have you done to avoid getting hit by an meteor? What have you done to offset diabetes and heart disease (things that are very likely a danger to you, as opposed to being raped in the ass by a criminal)?
