While that's true, these are small death probabilities. The age 10 death probability is less than 1 in 10,000. It doesn't even reach 1 in 1000 until age 20 for men and age 34 for women. According to this data source[1] there are about 4 million 10-year olds. That works out to less than 400 deaths for the entire US in a year. What I find interesting is the divergence at age 10 by gender. By the late teens, boys are about 2.5 times more likely to die, in spite of the probability being the same at age 10.
