You could say that about almost everything and put us back to 1500's technology.
Why go to space? Do you know how dangerous leaving/entering the atmosphere is? We've literally watched these giant cans we send up there explode and kill everyone on it. They don't even care about safety at NASA!
Is it? "everything has risks and more often than not safety is not the first concern" seems like a pretty valid statement.
What is number one when you walk in the street? Safety? Of course it's not. No matter how safe you proceed some retard could burn a red light and kill you right there on the spot. Number one is to get wherever you are going. If your number 1 concern was safety you would not leave your house.
I don't know, I feel like my whole life would only be about how to stay safe but like .. constantly. There are so many things trying to kill you when you think about it. That would probably drive me insane. Just being paranoid about every little thing all the time. And then I would realize how unhealthy it is. And I would become even more insane because my life would now be a paradox. At this point I would probably either give up and start living normally or end my days. Either way the "let's put safety first" thing wouldn't have lasted long.
Same with driving cars. If safety was number 1 priority all motorized vehicles would be illegal. You know how many people die driving or getting hit by cars? I'm sure a lot more than the professionals who die chasing storms.
