Let's say in a life time, the accident rates due to packing a parachute quickly is 1/10000, and the fatal rate of the slow packing group is 1/1000000. Even though the fast group faces bigger danger than the people in the slow group (or people sitting at home), but other than the few who have the bad luck, the rest of them will practice way more than the other group, jump more times, go to more places, have bigger opportunities to become a world champion of parachute packing or whatever parachuting sports.
Sure, a few will be forgotten by the world.
The victors we see in the world are probably the people who are still alive in the fast group, and have produced lots of results because of their speed and being still alive. Someone in that group will pay a huge price, but it's not necessary you or any particular one.
