We base our risk analysis on things that happen to us, and that's error-prone. Just because something happened to you, that doesn't make it a frequent occurrence. Again, just because your neighbor was a serial killer, that doesn't mean that you have to worry about living around serial killers for the rest of your life.

Just because you have some sort of statistic, doesnt make me safe on the buses near me. Treating stats as facts is also absurd, and you shouldnt apply statistics to individual situations to begin with.
