I advise you to forget statistics. They are very hard to relate to (we're not good visualizing large numbers anyway). Instead, think of the pilots who know these things inside and out and still choose to happily board each and every day. They raise families and eventually retire uneventfully. If they know the risks and still choose to go to work, surely you can board a flight.

That's a bad argument, every dangerous profession also has lots of experienced people that still choose to work there.
