9. Most Dangerous: Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers/Attendants. Pilots and aircraft engineers are paid handsomely in amounts anywhere from $76,050 to $118,070 per year. And there is a good reason for this as they are given a huge responsibility in flying planes way up in the sky where the miniscule mistake may result into hundreds of deaths. Unlike other jobs where there is an even chance of surviving an accident, mistakes made by pilots will probably lead to certain death. 1 Like 1 Share

10. Most Dangerous: Target Stabilizer Gun enthusiasts are probably well aware of the one cardinal rule of the gun range. Well, you know, except for don’t point your gun at someone else. That rule is don’t go out onto the range for any reason! You certainly don’t want to wind up getting shot by accident. Apparently though, in some places, it’s actually someone’s job to stabilize a shooting target. You just have to feel bad for that poor man. Someone has to have been shot at some point doing this job. It’s literally just an accident waiting to happen. Then it’s going to be someone else’s job to clean up. 2 Likes 2 Shares

11. Most Dangerous: Crocodile/Lion Trainer. Crocodile trainers have a rough life. Putting your head/arm in a crocodile’s mouth for shock money is actually a thing. And they even have theaudacity to call it “training.” It apparently happens in Thailand all the time. Even worse, the workers are paid nearly slave wages for their work. One person attending such a show said: “One of the performers had his head crushed while locked in the jaws of a croc. 1 Like 2 Shares

12. Most Dangerous: Oil Rig Personnel. Oil rig personnel have it pretty rough indeed. It is a ridiculously dangerous job with an almost uncountable number of hazards fighting against you at any given time. The job is always performed far from civilization, on an oil rig of course, and usually demands 12 hour shifts with hazardous oil raining down around you the wholetime. Oh, and don’t light a cigarette. What’s worse is that if there is some kind of accident, they’re sofar offshore often it’s difficult to get timely medical care. The pay for the job is not too stellar either, given the risks. 2 Likes 3 Shares

13. Most Dangerous: Coal Miners. Coal miners have what is often ranked among the most dangerous jobs in the world. Coal miners work the whole day in extremely narrow spaces deep in tunnels that are often incredibly hot and humid. Coal dust is of course quite dirty, but it’s also quite harmful to the lungs, and breathing it in constantly is terrible for your health. Not to mention the risk of tunnel collapse, which is a constant threat that seeks to bury them under rock forever. But that’s not all! Miners also suffer hearing loss from the loud instruments used to mine the coal. Around 30 miners die per year in the US alone. We have come a long way, though. Before the 1990s, over 1,500 miners died per year. 2 Likes 1 Share

Police officers earn an average annual salary of $56,250. 3 Likes 1 Share

15. Most Dangerous: powerline Men. When you see them working over power lines you may think it’s a hoax. But helicopter line men who work dangling from copters are real. This is considered as a highly specialized form of line work. Helicopter line men have undergone specialized training to do their job. Impossible as it might seem, high-voltage line work can be performed bare handed, believe it or not. The line man has to be isolated from contact with the ground utilizing an insulated bucket. The line man needs to wear a conductive special outfit connected to the live power-line. At this point, the lineman and the line havethe exactly same potential thus permitting the line man to handle the live wire without any harm done. 4 Likes 1 Share

16. Weird: Armpit Sniffer. You may spend hours of your day sniffing your own armpit, but imagine if you had to spend that amount of time sniffing someone else’s all day, every day. Well for some of those unfortunate people who work for deodorant companies, that’s exactly their job. Someone needs to test the effectiveness of that deodorant, right? To test it they literally have employees who go around sniffing the armpits of several “test pits” to evaluate the effectiveness of the pit stick. Deodorant tester Peta Jones, commenting on her job, said: “It was strange at first, but in a week it was fine.” 1 Like 3 Shares

17. Most Dangerous: Bodyguards. Bodyguards spend their days protecting someone else. This job can get quite dangerous, depending on where you are serving and who you are protecting. According to APD (Australian Professional Bodyguards), there are around 100,000 bodyguards in the world, not including government operatives, and the demand for bodyguards is continuing to increase. This is due to the increase in world violence, which means that the likelihood of a bodyguard getting injured or evenworse, getting killed on the job, becomes much higher. It’s hard to say how many deaths or injuries have occurred in the bodyguarding industry because most of the deaths aren’t publicized, but one thing’s for sure; becoming a bodyguard can be dangerous to say the least. source: http://www.therichest.com/expensive-lifestyle/lifestyle/most-dangerous-jobs/?view=all http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/most-shocking/12-absolute-worst-jobs-you-should-be-glad-you-dont-have/?view=all http://www.topsixlist.com/2013/06/24/top-6-worlds-most-dangerous-jobs/ cc: dominique 1 Like 1 Share

18. Most Dangerous: Construction Labourers/Workers. Not only do construction laborers rank high in fatality rates, they also rank very high in work place injuries. The most obvious reason for the high rate of injuries among construction laborers is simply the nature and environment of the job. Construction laborers clean and prepare construction sites, build scaffolding, dig large trenches, operate construction equipment, and form job sites. Their daily work consists of heavy lifting and very long hours, often in extreme heat and dangerous environments. Construction laborers can fall victim to electrical hazards, falling objects, heavy machinery malfunction, and cave-ins. Another form of construction which adds to the fatality rate of laborers is road construction, which carries the possibility of death from being hit by a vehicle. 1 Like 1 Share

19. Most Dangerous: Iron Workers. You know the massive steel bridges and buildings that you see in and around cities across the country? Those huge structures are erected by ironworkers; men and women who assemble the structural steel framework of pre-engineered metal buildings. It’s more than obvious that walking along steel beams 50 stories high poses several safety hazards. One of those, of course, is a fatal fall the leading cause of ironworker death and injury. Along with falling, ironworkers can be injured or killed by wall collapses, electrocution from live electrical lines/cables, and large falling or swinging objects. In 2012, there were 22 total fatalities, bringing the ironworkers fatality rate to 37.0 per 100,000 workers. Ironworkers have strict guidelines and work codes to follow, including structural supports and fitted harnesses to deter falls and injuries. source: http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/most-shocking/the-worlds-10-deadliest-jobs/?view=all 1 Like 1 Share
