The scale on the y axis, that’s a logarithmic scale, is that right? The way it goes 0.1, 1,10

(I was good at maths but never kept it up after school, so not sure if this is the right terminology)

It’d be interesting to see the same data shown on a normal scale, because my initial reaction was to be slightly horrified that the day 1 figure didn’t seem to have fallen much at all, only to then notice the scale.

You would not see anything on a linear scale except for the large values near day 1 and then it goes down to essentially 0.

Chance of death approaches zero the older you get.

I know that this was probably a joke, but here is how the full curve looks like:

(As in the original post mind the logarithmic scale on y-axis)

it appears that 12 year olds are invincible. this is probably why we are primed in our adolescence to take risks.
