Of the ~100 billion humans who have ever lived, ~8 billion of them are still alive. Therefore, your chance of dying is only 92%, not 100%.

Yeah but no one of them survived the 116th 122th year.

These things are always subject to challenge but as I understand the oldest ‘verified’ person to have ever lived was 122 when they died.

Who knows, at some point we might figure out how to stop/reverse aging, so your chance of dying (in the foreseeable future) is not 100%, only very close to it
