I’ve seen some revised statistics, that if commercial passenger carrying airlines are excluded, the numbers are close to logging.Originally Posted by Nightvisionary

It’s combined statistics from two very different worlds, where one side hasn’t had a fatal crash in almost 11 years and the other is driving the stats.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.
Man. Every time I see one of these lists, I’m amazed at how little money people often get paid for hard jobs that could kill them. Don’t get me wrong: I’m both a performing artist, and an adjunct university instructor, so it’s not like I’m Mr 1 percenter either, but I probably won’t get crushed to death between, say, a ‘cello and a tuba anytime, ever.

I used to work with people who had been loggers. Actually worked on a job where some loggers were dropping some 36" firs for awhile. Fallers and choker setters get hurt frequently.
The highest paid individuals I knew were pile bucks that had to work under water. I think they were well paid because it was actually more dangerous than logging. WA L&I thinks pile bucks are #1 at risk for an injury. That's some crazy shit.
In the P-F basket of deplorables.
Wanna talk dangerous?
How about saturation diving, particularly from a ship that's held in place only by its station-keeping systems.

I can think of several jobs that are extremely unforgiving with a high likelihood of a quick death if mistakes are made but are not on the list because of a highly ingrained and enforced safety culture, training, and substance abuse testing. One that comes to mind are railroad workers. Although RR maintenance workers made the list RR transportation (Engineers, switchmen, and freight conductors) did not. In the first half of the 20th century tens of thousands were killed resulting in the General Code of Operating Rules, aka the rules written in blood.

There's nothing civil about this war.
I'm surprised power company linemen aren't on the list.
