I think it’s normal to track and report failures more than successes when consequences of possible failures warrant it. As a society we do it all the time so shouldn’t be unexpected.
Using the present Corona Virus as an example, no one is reporting daily that 60 million Italians haven’t died. Nearly 100% of people there are OK, but that in itself doesn’t diminish that the comparatively few affected aren’t a serious problem. We also track car accidents, injuries, and deaths, not how many people made it home OK. Reporting on slides is no different in my opinion. Granted, it doesn’t mean we should stop driving or vacationing in Italy, but we shouldn’t ignore the risk either.
I believe it comes down to our personal risk-reward tolerance. To some buyers the extra space a slide provides has more value than to others. Likewise, the ability to cope with a slide failure is also very different between buyers.
That balance between extra space and “possibly” having to deal with the costs and hassles that “may” come with a slide is a personal decision.
