You should realise, probabilities mean nothng.
Example:
There is a fifty/fifty chance of a coin landing on 'heads' but there is a chance that it will never land on heads - though it is a very small chance, it is possible, so to an observer it may be a hundred/zero chance, with the coin never landing on heads.
Think about it for a minute - probabilities are just guides as to how often something should happen, not a set of rules that are set in stone about how often things should happen. Non-determinism can not be summed up with a 'percentage' or 'probability'
Nevertheless, you have a point - many odd things that should be rare happen every day.
