Looking at this and all the chains flying, heavy steel being thrown around, I remembered that garbage man was the most dangerous job or something and like miles above being a cop. Someone should have that stat. Mist be per capita or something because I’d die the first day as a roughneck.

Lots of jobs are more dangerous than cop, pretty sure cop doesn't crack the top 20 in the US.

*Stats do not include the danger of being in proximity to cops

Cop is still fairly high up but largely from vehicle accidents or getting hit by a car when on the side of the road.

Its per 100k workers. The total number of pilots/FEs is low, so their per capita fatality rate is high.

I thought about that too, but the chart says occupational injuries, so it should only be counting people who are doing it as their job, not amateurs.

Yeah, those numbers seem off to me too, if it's annual fatalities. There are about 600,000 certificated pilots in the USA (not all of whom have the currency to fly) and about 250,000 commercial pilots. Assuming all 250,000 of them are working, that chart would indicate 62 (assuming two pilots per plane) to 125 fatal commercial crashes per year, which is just...not what actually happens. That's one every three days.

e: the figures in that chart are generally correct if you take all the pilots in the USA and divide by the number of people in the USA who are killed in airplane crashes, but 97% of the accidents are non-commercial general aviation. I think they used the wrong data.

I would have guessed fire fighters to be higher, but I guess it makes sense that if a firefighter gets hurt, there are likely to be a bunch of other firefighters with first aid training and gear right there with them.

I'm not surprised by the firefighter stats at all. actual fire callouts have dropped massively over the last few decades. 90% of fire department responses are EMS calls

at the same time , firefighting science and training levels have risen, and the formation of specialty teams for crap like technical rescue and wilderness search means you aren't just shoving bodies at problems.

Firefighters also have a general philosophy along the lines of "we don't trade lives", which is to say they try not to put themselves in situations where they will die. Contrast that to any free market environment where the general philosophy is "I don't give a poo poo if it seems dangerous, stick your head in there and see what the issue is".

I think those categories usually play fast and loose with supporting staff. Aviation might include ground crew, which involves people driving vehicles around which is the primary cause of death for the categories like loggers and miners (which end up higher than delivery truckers because its a lot of drivers who aren't subject to DOT safety like taking breaks and being tested constantly for meth)

I figured the danger factor made it OSHA.

It also reminded me of the time or two me and my idiot friends used a come-along to tow a non-working vehicle behind another vehicle in town. I piloted the vehicle being towed, and having to steer and brake an unpowered vehicle without ramming the vehicle in front of me or tearing off the tow hitch was a bit stressful. Still, we accomplished the task.

You need to tie some tires to the front of the towed car, and on the bumper of the towing car. Used to do that as a teenager with friends cars when I had to drag them home.

There was a fun adventure in tip trucks last week in my backyard.

Farmer had some manure delivered to his field. The driver tipped the truck bed up so the manure could fall out. Manure at the very top of the truck was reluctant to move so the driver did the most sensible thing possible: backed up a bit with the bed raised. It promptly fell on its side, twisting the entire frame. They had to empty the load with shovels, then brought in the wreckers to cut the trailer frame into pieces so it could be removed. Half of it is still there.

No photo, unless you want to see a trailer lying on its side in a paddock.
