Collision,

That analysis was _for_ such NPCs - no survival rolls, no event rolls,
nothing except stat gen and aging rolls. Thus, "unadventurous lives
without Events and Survival rolls".

Bringing in PC-level risk factors (such as survival rolls, events, etc)
would have (most likely) shortened the life expectancy and (definitely)
complicated the coding.
