I don't follow, but just FYI, if 5 people die on a project it's usually shut down. This isn't 1930 anymore.

Sure, you shut it down for awhile and then just let it start back up again and after the next death shut it back down and rinse-repeat. If it was the 1930s you wouldn't have to bother taking the break in between deaths but the rinse-repeat means we have a non-zero tolerance for death.
