My job's as dangerous as I want it to be, all depends how I ride the demo bikes.

Job? What job? I'm one of the unemployed masses.
My potential career is pretty dangerous though... |

Technically it's not the job that's dangerous, it's the way we go about doing some of the jobs that makes it so.

(Was until mashed tibia) Sole contractor m/cycle courier; I keep thinking I should sue myself for knowingly requiring me to endure unacceptably dangerous working conditions. But I can't decide if I should go for the pollution I'm-going-to die-of-diesel-poisoning aspect or the persistently-imminent-collision aspect.
Anyhow, that's finished, need new non-walking non-riding career. |

Many jobs carry that element of danger that has never been identified until such point were things go wrong and it goes totally tits up.
I know of electricians working alongside live bus bars having had their wooden ladders taken off them and given new aluminium ones. I know of test drivers drifting into arrestor beds causing partial brake failure and jack kniving trucks at high speed, I know of construction workers falling into continuous pour concrete projects. All of these causing death that on investigation it was unseen but still preventable. Walking on the pavement can be dangerous. We have to accept that danger exists everywhere, try to mitigate the risk, but without causing undue obstruction to normal life.
