I don't know. It is partly a matter of cost, too. Do you have flood insurance, for example?
Now referring to Skyline Drive and the Shenandoah National Park, I'd think that many users of SNP think of it as much more than a road. And I didn't know that the Blue Ridge Parkway was a national park.
The odds I mention are not the odds for one day or one year but the total for (roughly) 25 years. For homicides, the odds in one year, if the numbers quoted above are accurate, your odds of being a homicide victim in a national park are one in 55,000,000, or over 25 years, one in 2.2 million. But since my vists to any national park from now on will probably be no more than about 20 in total, probably, my chances of be injured another way, probably by just falling down, are infintesimally greater, though not great, given my own experiences.
I'm still interesting in hearing about the first bear shot in SNP or even a coyote, which I understand now infests the park.
