I think your statistical argument makes perfect sense (well, other than it's probably not quite 99%-vs-1%) if we were talking about some efficiency thing, or odds of losing a chunk of money, or something of that nature. But you're also talking about increased safety in a scenario that's normally going to be non-lethal in the first place, versus decreasing the safety of a rollover to, IMHO, more likely to be lethal. It's hard to play odds against increased lethality because you don't recover from that
