Now, I wouldn't want to roll the dice on 6 percent, but 40 percent? Is that really true? 40 percent? And I'd wager that all 100 percent thought they were well trained and well prepared. There's no way on earth I'd accept a 40 percent risk of dying.

Just for fun, I grabbed my TI calculator and used the random number generator. 0.079060....
So, I would have just barely survived Everest, but I would have suffered a horrible death on Annapurna, whatever the hell that is.
