Robin Hooding

The chances of a person dying in an elevator accident are 1 in 10.5 million.  Surprisingly, this translates into something near 30 such deaths each year in the United States.

I recently read (at archerypassion.com) that the chances of Robin Hooding an arrow—you know splitting one arrow with another—are 1 in 4000.  Not sure about that.  Those odds seem glaringly optimistic to me, but I will run with them.

So, here is my question: What are the chances of being struck by an arrow while in an elevator?
