What I'm reading is men are good at dying on the job and women are good at avoid it. Probably more to do with the number of women in those top listed roles, but still statically interesting how few women die on the job overall.

I got out of #1 at a relatively young age after seeing a few bad accidents…
So far, I have only lost the end of a finger with #2.

Let’s hear the story?

That was the most excitement we had on a Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness (Idaho) moose hunt that ended before it really started due to a forest fire that closed access to my dad’s moose area and a bight of rope connected to a mule that I pulled through the window of the stock trailer while loading the animals the morning after we turned away from the trailhead road.
Watch out for those ropes! I was lucky I didn’t loose all of my fingers. Fortunately, it didn’t hurt too badly and we were able to drive through Missoula and on to Coeur d’Alene before getting medical attention.
Keep on

I think the commercial fishing runs the numbers up quite a bit. (IE deadliest catch)
No doubt it's mostly men doing the physically dangerous work, I've been around 2 fatalities when I was in the mining industry. It's not a good day for anybody at the plant and always something simple that would have avoided the death in the first place.
I've been at a power plant for the last 19 years, no fatality at my plant since '72 when two journeyman mechanics were burned alive after a steam line blew.

The logging workers usually holds multiple categories underneath it and the urban tree pruning and removal section is scary when you read stats. There are large items flying through the sky all day with people working on the ground, chainsaws inches from the body way up in a windy tree, and tripping hazards galore. Those damn lawn ornaments will mess a guy up carrying a heavy log.
My mother gets nervous when I go hunting solo, I don’t think she really understands what I do. She has only seen me at competitions and I think she prefers to keep it that way.
It’s not a good job to bring outside stressors into it. There are a lot of days when a jobsite therapy session is necessary to keep people from getting hurt.

You are in a flat out dangerous line of work, an inlaw relation who was an arborist was killed and the husband of a friend of my wife. who was an arborist is on disability. I know we all think nothing's going to happen to us, but my advice as an old grump is think of finding something else.
In six of the top ten!
