I think you demonstrate a common human scenario where we over-estimate the risk in notable activities and far under-estimate the boring ones. Motorcycle fatalities are about 25x higher than car, but car deaths are pretty low. Meanwhile smokers kill themselves and others at very high rates, and general inactivity leads to indirect deaths a magnitude higher. I'd also argue premature death from sky diving > slow, declining death from poor lifestyle, but I recognize that's not a universal opinion.
