It's just technology. Like with anything else failure is a possibility. The ABS in your car can fail too and cause the wheels in your car to lock up and that can actually kill you and others. Does that mean we should go back to manually pumping the brakes, using horse and buggy, or walking 500 miles?
When a technology is made robust then the event of failures will be statistically low (as is for ABS failures). Since life is all a gamble anyway (how good are you at dodging lightening?) it doesn't change much about life.
