Based on Google numbers:

There’s 16M flights per year, so saving 5 minutes each is 80M minutes, which corresponds to 160 years.

A plane crash will kill about 160 people; so if one happens every twenty years, then we’ll have saved lives if the average age is over 50 (within 20 years of natural death) and lost lives otherwise.

Personally, seems a bad gamble.
