    If i remember correctly, being a police officer isn’t even in the top 10 dangerous jobs. It’s jobs like logging, industrial fishing, electrician, and some medical jobs. Yet you never hear about them when they die on the job yet the entire city shuts down if a single cop slips on a banana peel

      According to Forbes for the top 10 we’ve got:

      Loggers

      Fishing and hunting workers

      Roofers

      Pilots and flight engineers (helicopters are the main reason)

      Steel workers

      Delivery and truck drivers (includes semi-trucks to UPS to pizza delivery)

      Garbage collectors

      Miners

      Construction workers

      Electrical line workers

      Edit: Also with the exception of loggers miners they’re all from either transportation accidents (car crashes, or helicopter crashes for pilots) or falling off of stuff
