The most dangerous job you ever took?

I don't know why, but that statement struck me as unbelievably funny.

It IS funny. I thought "underage alligator wrestler" was funny too!

Yep. Just never sure who is going to share my sense of humor. I often get those "Huh?" looks when I am cracking up.:P

I suppose my most dangerous was interning at the prison mental health unit.

Jeez.....here I go thinking of "Hannibal"....

This might be an interesting thread. What was the most dangerous paid job you have ever undertaken?

what's yours?

 

[jillio]

Jeez.....here I go thinking of "Hannibal"....

Not quite that bad! No serial murderers...just the one shot guys!

 

[Beowulf]

what's yours?

Feeding chipmunks nuts from next to his ass?

When I saw this thread, the first thing that actually came to my mind was interpreting at the mental health hospitals.

Quite a few interesting things has happened.

Either fighting wildfires with my crew with fire all around us or hiking through a burned out forest full of widow makers during a wildfire.

Yep, I can imagine. My most recent incident was being attacked by a 12 year old with schizophrenia in the middle of a psychotic break. His intent really wasn't to do harm...he was just very, very scared.

Cutting down big ole dead trees. "Widow makers." :Ohno:

That's how TCS sliced his knee with a chain saw.

That was what I've seen. My team interp getting punched in the nose by a kid.

It can get rough sometimes. I've had my share of bumps and bruises, and a pair of broken glasses this last time. But never anything really serious. And you have to take into account where they are coming from. The only time I have had a problem is when someone is actively psychotic and scared half to death.

I was a machinist operator, I have to make sure all mounting are securely tight before cutting it or else that metal plate will fly like a frisbee, slice body in half.

Cool thread, dangerous jobs are interesting. I had some "dangerous" jobs when younger and braver. I only quitted one job, because it was too dangerous. It was as a nightwatch at a kind of mental ward. Ocassionally, I had to enter a room of a big, violent and mental retarded person, alone, in the mid of night to calm him down. Horror movies were never the same again, lol.

You know, I read somewhere a while back that tree trimming was the 3rd most dangerous job in the U.S. Had a friend get attacked by a nasty racoon while trimming a tree. I'm sure he thinks it the MOST dangerous!

Yeah, it is dangerous. The people who lived next door to our old house lost one of their little boys when a tree fell on him while the family was cutting trees for firewood. Sad.
