If scientists invented a teleportation system but the death rate was 1 in 5 million would you use it? Why or why not?

This scenario would be a literal revolution in transportation safety.

If a university has 10,000 students who attend 5 days per week for 15 weeks per semester. And they attend 2 semesters per year. You end up with about 10,000155*2 teleportation per year while ignoring the trip back home. That's 1.5 million teleportation by students per year. If you factor in the travel back home that's 3 million or 60% chance of a student dying every year. This is excluding the fact that some may teleport more than two times per day or take summer classes.

I'm not exactly sure this would be revolutionary but then again maybe there's a lot more students who currently die from transportation than I think there is.
