Being a neo-con when TRH or Bristoe or ColeYounger are sittin' around the fire can get your azz scorched a bit. Not that I am a neo-con, mind you, for I am not, but when those bad boys get to tag-teaming a wayward neo-con that wanders into an RP thread, well, lets just say a pirahna feedin' frenzy ain't got nothin' on those lads. grin

Don't worry, it generally seems to only be a momentary setback for the NeoCons.....

Fishing, by a long way, followed by logging and flying (including the guy sitting next to the pilot.)

Back in the '70's there were only two occupation Lloyds of London wouldn't insure, one was a mercenary and the other was anyone involved in helicopter venison recovery in New Zealand.

That says something about our chopper boys.

Lots of dangerous jobs out there but those damm fools that drive logging trucks in the Rockies are the ballsiest guys on the planet. Watched a bunch of 'em last fall and I was scared just looking at what they were doing. No fricken way they could stop a loaded truck once they start down some of those grades and hundreds of feet of drop if they slide off the road. Jeezus, gives me shivers thinking about it again.

I very confident in my ability when working at heights. My main concern is that I have to sit next to one of you guys, in order to get to the job site! grin

Damn helicopters have way too many moving parts. But I do like having the option of stopping, and turning around, when the vis goes to hell.

1. Fisherman, this includes crab fisherman
2. Loggers
3. Airplane pilots
4. Farmers and ranchers
5. Mining machine operator
6. Roofer
7. Sanitation worker (garbage truck guys)
8. Truck driver and delivery people
9. Industrial machine repairmen (millwright)
10. Police officer

Keep in mind the numbers are kinda wonky, its per 100,000 workers. There arent very many farmers compared to police officers so when one dies it has a bigger impact ratio wise.

Ive done five of these ten, logger, farmer/rancher, roofer, truck driver/deliveryman, and industrial machine repair and for sure if you let your mind wander, you get bit quick like.
