hmmm, I have to disagree there. Some of my best memories ever were made on trains and boats, during long hauls (at least a day, most often several days).

Might die?

Depending on the method of teleportation, you have to die as part of the process. Star Trek style deconstruction/reconstruction teleportation is death and relife at the destination.

But it's not really the same kind of calculation as the car accident though. It'd be impossible to know if anyone using it ever had died from doing so, so impossible to compare the statistics and the concern is about whether the act of being teleported constitutes dying so depending on the answer to that the odds are either 100% or 0 (unless they have some kind of safety issue with more traditional, visible death or injury that bumps that up to something above 0% but below 100).
