Interesting.It seems that if you work on an aircraft carrier you have to be faster than a lightning.A documentary on this has been showed on the Discovery channel recently.

The most dangerous job in the world is that of the Alaskan Crab Fisherman in the Bering Sea, during winter of course...

I would say its the most dangerous job in the world, for a commercial undertaking.

All the rest have to do with law enforcement or military, and are hazardous by nature.

When I was back in the states the last time I was watching that show about the crab fishing. It was called "The most dangerous Catch" I think. It was quite interesting.

a mtn guide or in the guide service has nothing to do with the military/commercial undertaking. in fact I was in co-habitat with a friend for years amdist playing elsewhere in the world for many years, and did I use this training for military.......... ~

it's a wonder I couldn't get insurance coverage for myslef/wife at the time

I did not think it was that bad in DC. Me and my wife never had a problem walking around at night or anything. We probably did not go into the bad parts I guess but whereever we went it was extremely friendly and we never felt unsafe.
