"Imagine you’re sitting in a football stadium with 10,000 people. One of you will be randomly selected and killed. How much would you pay to make sure you aren’t chosen? Remember, the chance that you’ll be chosen is only 1 in 10,000."
What a completely useless thought experiment. Unless you're actually in this situation, the decision will be heavily distorted. It's one thing to say what you do in a difficult situation, it's another thing to be in one and take the decision then and there.
