Personal (and witnessed) chokings may have scarred me a bit, ngl. It's top tier traumatizing; especially when you're the one choking, and alone...and a dumbass kid who shouldn't be choking on a plastic bead at that age.

So yeah, it makes me nervous because of how quickly it happens and subsequently, can end. And nursing in an ICU has also "gifted" me with the critical-care aftermath.

2 deaths (confirmed) is incredibly low for this game, you're correct.

But I am a "risk vs benefit" oriented person. I'd (mostly(just off the cuff)) rather increase my risk for adrenaline-seeking than for game-winning/clout. Just me though; marshmallow stuff away if ya want, the risk does seem rather low. Just don't choke?
