Just as everybody else, in every other industry does.
There aren't actually that many accidents or deaths. I suppose that you do feel them more when you are in the same line of work.
I'm not sure that there are more 'risks' in this line of work than any other - there are hazards, of course - but give me the choice of this work or others that I have been involved in, and I'll take this everytime. I'm unlikely to die through falling off a roof, getting hit by a vehicle whilst changing a truck tyre on the hard shoulder, being stabbed / otherwise assaulted / etc. whilst carrying out a career as a Policeman / Fireman / Nurse etc. etc. . I am, however, more likely to be involved in a Helicopter accident than those persons that do not spend all their working lives flying in them.
I'll take the risk ( and the 85k
) and accept that some of us are just more fortunate than others.
