He is right though, I remember learning this 4 years ago.

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
