Yeah, exactly. He knows just about every % of every possible accident that could happen...he sees it as an 11% increased chance of one of the many things he's read about happening to him.

the part i like is that it ISN'T 11%! you multiply it so it's actually 2.4% and a 97.6% chance of NOT happening
