45. Would a scientist say there is zero risk of putting one foot in front of the other?
Perhaps doing it at just the right time and place will cause something we've never seen before, and destroy the world.

There is a non-zero probability of that. (Ok, so not particularly far from zero, but the same argument can be made about the LHC)
