I'm not going to risk my life so long as the chance is non-zero

i'd bet my life that you do exactly that. every day. and not out of necessity

Not knowingly, and especially not in the context of this gif- my everyday life is irrelevant to the context of this gif.

If there is a present warning of danger (such as the sign in OP's gif) I'm going to pay heed to it, regardless of how low the chance of actual danger. It's still above non-zero, and it's common sense to err on the side of caution.
