Hmm, not really, since the higest impact probability of all those objects is 1.8e-03, which is .0018.. or 0.18 percent. And the size of that particular objext is 0.04 Kms.. or a whopping 40 metres across.

So.. 18/10,000 times in simulation something less than 150ft in diameter might hit is.. oh no! as long as it doesnt land on my house (or anyone else's)
