The reentry phase has caused at least 8 deaths I can think of out of only a few hundred people launched. How does that compare to deaths per person-dive below (say) 3000 meters? I'll probably go look that up now...

In my becoming an armchair expert in small deewater sub design apparently they are at zero fatalities but you have so few trips. Like the same number of people have been to the moon have been to the challenger deep in the Mariana Trench.
