He is right though, I remember learning this 4 years ago. The odds of him hurting himself in confusion may be 1/2 (hurt himself or not), but the odds of him hurting himself twice in a row are 1/4 even though the second time still has an individual chance of 1/2. Because between two turns, he can go either...
Hurt-Hurt
Safe-Hurt
Hurt-Safe
Safe-Safe
So the odds of him hurting himself twice in a row is 1/4, but for each individual turn, it's still 1/2. He was just showing in his list how bad his luck was by showing the odds that it would happen like that.

haha fine then he worded it wrong...haha he should have said 1/64 is the odds to get another loss in total in a row! not getting a loss
