To know this you would need an accurate assessment of the risk (as well as the payoff in knowledge). I think you've been led to believe it is far, far greater than the true risk.
You might worry more about, say, driving a car. In that instance the immediate, personal risk due to collision is vastly greater and well-known, not to mention the well-understood environmental risks.
