Literally one in a million.

Edit: plus three times that rate for non-direct injuries, such as heat stroke, heart attack, and one by blood clot. Four direct deaths, about twelve indirect, with 4.2 million participants.

Edit 2: This report barely touches on long-term TBI from repeated concussive events. it's just about dead players.
My mistake then. I guess all the protective gear works perfectly to keep people alive. The long term risks are very real, but far below the resolution of Gurps.
