2599: "Spacecraft Debris Odds Ratio"

Title text: You say this daily walk will reduce my risk of death from cardiovascular disease by 30%, but also increase my risk of death by bear attack by 300%? That's a 280% increased! I'm not a sucker; I'm staying inside.

This is clearly wrong because I've been outside way more than that and I've never been hit by spacecraft debris. That means the chance is always zero.
