The way I see it, life is full of risks and the future is unpredictable. At any given day, it's possible for my quality of life to degrade significantly all because of a random chronic condition or an accident or just one of the many myriad of ways one's life can go worse. Sure, these things may be unlikely to occur but the chances are still there and, if I were to be on the unlucky side of life and have my life randomly be worse, I wouldn't be thinking about how rare it is. I'd be in pain and wishing to get out of here. I already am in pain and I'm wishing to get out of here but it's scary as to how worse things can become.
A personal anecdote of mine is how my sister didn't think that anything would happen to her besides depression but she randomly got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis one day which ruined her quality of life significantly. She was already miserable due to depression but, for her, multiple sclerosis was significantly worse than depression. It's just so scary as to how much somebody can suffer. I am already suffering massively and, just by staying alive, I could potentially suffer even more.
Incidentally, even the most devout of religious people are somehow able to understand that life has a lot of risk attached to it. My parents are able to acknowledge that life has a lot of risk and that they cannot guarantee that they'll even be alive tomorrow. A lot of other religious people acknowledge this too. I wonder as to why they still want to continue with life after acknowledging this?
The only way to not have to deal with the risk caused by merely being alive is to be dead. If I'm dead, I won't be subjected to any future risk and I won't ever have to suffer again. For me, being risk averse is one of my reasons for wanting to be dead as the only way to not have to deal with the risks within life is to be dead.
