Probably most people live downstream of a hydroelectric dam. It's safer than living above it, where there is no control mechanism for the variable amount of water nature delivers.
General fear of dam failure is unreasonable. Most people die of cardiovascular disease and cancer. For the 80% of Americans that are at least overweight, this should be their primary safety concern.
