"Any human in good health" means a human passenger with END modifier 0 or better (that is, Endurance 6+). Such a passenger needs to roll, after dice modifiers, 2 or better on 2D to survive. This is an automatic success, thus the 100% survival rate. A non-human passenger with END modifier 0 (Endurance 6, 7, or 8) needs to roll a 4 or better - 92% odds, which is the "good chance" referred to in the article.
This assumes that either the ship performs the revivals, or the medic has Medic 1 and +0 from INT. A better medic increases the odds even for non-humans or those with Endurance less than 6.
