That's not a useful metric. Please tell us how many microseconds of life they gained

  At a certain point, the time gained due to relativistic effects will equal the time lost to fatal accidents. (Or do I have this backwards?)

    There's also extra radiation exposure due to less atmospheric shielding (and there's no minimal safe levels for ionizing, anything extra increases your cancer risk), so it probably won't work out to a positive outcome. Oh, and risk of catching an infection in the plane or airport is higher than in your own car - and that outweighs both crash and radiation risks..

  At the very least it is an interesting one and an amazing human accomplishment.
