And if the company goes belly-up while you're there?

  If you can accept the risk of unpredictable, potentially-horrible death, you can accept the risk of getting stranded. There would probably be suicide measures for a scenario where life support runs out.

The same thing that would have happened to anyone on the moon if they had lander failure, or to anyone on the ISS if they have catastrophic failure. For that matter, the same thing that would have happened to the First Fleet if they had landed on Australia and been slaughtered in 10 minutes. Of course it's dangerous. Of course there is a real risk you won't come back. That's not a reason to not go, and each individual can make that choice on their own.
