I’m not so sure about that. IIRC, people tend to overweight risks with small probabilities, which would make them more reluctant to take the 1⁄100 risk of death. That said, people tend to be overconfident, which might make them think their chance of death is < 1⁄100, so perhaps this biases would to some extent cancel eachother out.
They may effectively treat the 1⁄100 chance as zero. Or fail to realize in “near mode” what exactly do they risk.
Give them a 1⁄1 chance, and suddenly it is not zero, and the consequences are very clear.
