I belive that's commercial fishermen like the ones that go out in Alaska using nets and dealing with ice cold, wind, rain fatigue, getting washed overboard, hands and arms frozen or severed.

Discover channel did a show about them. Good stuff.

because there are not that many of them out there to be killed, and yeah, I am surprised no 7-11 clerks or taxi cab drivers are on the list

what are the stats for highest suicides??

I was told that dentists hold the highest suicide rate...it's b/c they come outta school and think they're going to make tons of $$ so they go into mad debt and then find out that they won't for a while so they kill themselves..

Cops are not even in the list... Looks like truck drivers should get more credit then they do.... risking their lives...

Unfortunately.. risking your life for transporting marchandise is less glamorous than risking your life trying to catch the bad guys... you wouldnt call a truck driver from New York.. New York's Finest would you !? lol

in Greece i think we have as no1 the professional divers. Those that collect sea sponges. There's a small island called Kalymnos that a very large number of men get paralyzed or die because of the "diver's disease" every year.

They are the top jobs for on-the-job murders, this list includes accidents.

I had a buddy that was a timber cutter and was killed. Got ran over by one of those huge trucks that haul full length trees.

He was a pretty careless guy, did not surprise me much when I heard.
