Indeed. One fun example is LHC[1], where the probability of a proton in a single bunch hitting a proton in the bunch going the opposite direction is on the order of 10^-21, yet due to huge number of protons per bunch and large number of bunches per second, it still results in ~10^9 collisions per second.
