I am in the throws of building 14 of these modules with 2000 Korean craftsmen and women. We are not hurting anyone, knock on wood, but it takes tremendous amount of effort to keep the site working safely.

1/2 of my AIT class have died on those aircraft. I consider myself lucky.

They left off shallow water treasure salvage. #2 and 3 aren't that risky and their pay analysis is BS. Treasure salvage is seriously hazardous labor and the pay is fer chitt. Fun for awhile though.
Another they missed is a niche profession, that of a circus cat juggler. How about drug kingpin? Phuoc, Crossfire is right, is all BS.

The funny thing is I am police officer and people think that is dangerous. It sort of puts things in perspective.

I have worked a couple of those jobs, but they left off one other, being married to a woman who is crazy. (My ex wife) When you are in love, you can't see schit!
After my best friend and I turned 18, we used have a couple of cocktails with his dad, and he would try to educate us, "boys remember one thing, all women are crazy, some are just [bleep] crazier" Marriage is dangerous he would say, course, he was twice divorced at that time.

Fishing and fish packing. Most of the injuries I saw were fatigue induced. Those little electric forklifts and slimy concrete floors made a dangerous situation. I turned over a whole pallet of blue crabs once, had anyone been under that it would have killed them.
A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

The funny thing is I am police officer and people think that is dangerous. It sort of puts things in perspective. There is a genuine distinction. What happens to Lawmen is generally due to sheer MALICE. There are more dangerous jobs, but there generally is no human malice in their dangers. That is what sets it apart.

They've obviously never worked on a buoy deck in the Bering Sea.

They left out one, the Coal Mining Business, I worked for two years in the Coal Business in the 70's . I worked 6 miles under ground coal mining and drove a coal truck on a strip mining job for a year. I personally have lost a few friends who died in the coal mines over the years. Mining isn't the safest job you can work at .

I've done considerable farm/ranch work and some roofing, but am surprised oil-field workers aren't on the list--another job I used to do. that "List" is a bloody jokeGTC In that it reflects the actual number of annual deaths, I'd guess that it is accurate. But still, there certainly are jobs with greater potential for harm. The danger from these is set off by skilled labor practices, and enforcement of safety initiatives. The construction trades aren't what they used to be, either for danger or for intelligence. The dumb used to die young...

Fishing held the title for years but has got much safer. I believe the rate was 200+ per 100,000 (70s & early 80s.) and the Bering Sea fishery was responsible for more than it's share.
I am 100% against waterboarding. Splatter their brains out the back of their heads.

Marriage should have been the Number One Job Hazard .
The most dangerous thing in the mines is fine coal dust floating in the air , your are working in a can of 4 f BlackPowder, that is why you rock dust everything.

I fell three times as a roofer and sider. One of those should have killed me, another broke my back. Even without nerve damage it took two years to fully recover.
This was residential work. It's hard to believe that, due to the low pay without benefits and high hazard, a house can even get build nowadays.
