I liked that scene....


But there are more dangerous jobs.
Safety programs since the 1980s have reduced fatal accidents in the oil patch to where it isn't even on the top ten list.

By fatality rate:
1. Fishing and Hunting Workers
Fatal injury rate: 132.1 per 100,000 workers.

2. Logging Workers
Fatal injury rate: 91.7 per 100,000 workers.

3. Roofers
Fatal injury rate: 47 per 100,000 workers.

4. Construction Workers
Fatal injury rate: 43.3 per 100,000 workers.

5. Aircraft pilots and Flight Engineers
Fatal injury rate: 34.3 per 100,000 workers.

6. Refuse Waste and Recyclable Material Collectors
Fatal injury rate: 33.1 per 100,000 workers.

7. Structural Iron and Steel Workers
Fatal injury rate: 32.5 per 100,000 workers.

8. Delivery and Truck Drivers
Fatal injury rate: 25.8 per 100,000 workers.

9. Underground Mining Machine Operators
Fatal injury rate: 21.6 per 100,000 workers.

Oil workers were up at number 3 when I started in the patch. So, yes, we have made that much progress in not killing each other off through stupidity, carelessness, or using junk to do the job. Driving truck remains dangerous, but that is often a function of driver experience and road conditions.
