I suppose the logical thing to do would be to come up with a probability for dying on an average day, and compare that with how much you make on an average day, and then scale both those numbers up proportionally to 1%. Someone with more time and motivation than me, get on this plz.
However, it still doesn't factor in the diminishing returns of money to life satisfaction, or the poor life BRM involved. If you already have a life you love, you're risking it all for a reward that may not be as great as you imagine it to be.
