Explanation
This comic plays on the misuse of base rate statistics to downplay risk. A woman tells a passerby that "BASE-JUMPING is NOT dangerous" because "a random person is TEN MILLION TIMES more likely to get killed doing old age than base-jumping." The statistic sounds impressive but is deeply misleading: the vast majority of people never base-jump at all, so of course far more people die of old age in absolute terms. Per participant or per hour of activity, base-jumping is extraordinarily dangerous.
The joke is about the rhetorical trick of comparing raw totals rather than per-capita or per-exposure rates to make a dangerous activity sound safe. The caption -- "Weekend activity: Murdering people with statistics" -- makes the gag explicit: the woman is weaponizing misleading statistics, presumably to lure people into dangerous behavior. It satirizes how statistics can be presented in technically true but profoundly deceptive ways.
