Safety or risk mitigation should always be quantified.

About 40k - 50k people die every year in automobile collisions. We could mitigate most of that, but we don't, because we judge it not worthy.

We don't have legislation requiring cars to be safe enough to not kill 40k - 50k people a year. That's all of us together deciding it's not worthy.
