Now I'm curious, in construction they have so many deaths per work
performed/money spent etc. Is there a baseline for deaths per complex
product? 100 million guns = 10,000 deaths. 200 million cars = 20,000
deaths. 10 thousand punch presses = 10 deaths. Build a better mouse
trap and it's going to kill at least 2% of the buyers.

About 2% of Shuttle flights break up either during ascent or descent.
