Part of the point is that, on average, it isn’t. There are 86,400 seconds in a day; 30/1e6 of that time period is actually closer to 3 seconds than 30.
Perhaps it might be better if I tried applying this rule over a different scale than a day—maybe a week (~ 210/1e6 chance of dying) or an hour (~ 1.3/1e6 chance of dying).
