Technically, traveling at higher speeds lengthens your lifespan by a negligible amount -- it's sudden decelerations to zero that kill.

Former prospect Andy Marte died in a car accident yesterday as well.

You're right. Saying "lengthens your lifespan as perceived by a static observer by a negligible amount due to the effects of time dilation" would have been a much better way of phrasing my Dead Pool joke. You're absolutely right.
