Probably the same reason why expert climbing is .0145 out of 100. Why they couldn't write "1 out of 6900" or "15 out of 100,000" is beyond me. Transforming that data to "1 out of 6900" would make sense, as they use that exact setup in the next section: Expert Climbing... In Nepal.
This is a fun idea, but it would be so much better if it was easier to compare the death rates.

Yeah, I noticed that one too. Strange.
