10 Most Dangerous Jobs That Can Kill You


Loggers:
The job of felling trees and processing them into useful products can be dangerous. Workers must lift heavy loads and climb great heights with the help of specialized machinery. Rough and isolated terrain, falling foliage and inclement weather pose additional hazards.
Falling branches, vines, and rough terrains are constant hazards, as are the dangers associated with tree-felling and log-handling operations.
Slippery or muddy ground, hidden roots, or vines not only reduce efficiency, but also present a constant danger, especially in the presence of moving vehicles and machinery. Poisonous plants, brambles, insects, snakes, heat, humidity, and extreme cold are everyday occurrences where loggers work.
Although timber-cutting and logging equipment has greatly improved and operations are becoming increasingly mechanized, many logging jobs still are dangerous and very labor intensive.
Alligator Wrestler:
Alligator wrestling consists of almost anything from saving these animals to performing in front of an audience by doing dangerous tricks.  It does not include killing or hurting these fascinating reptiles.  Most wrestlers make their living off of competitions and performances.
Some of them in places such as Florida are even called in to people’s properties to safely remove a gator from a pool, pond, backyard etc.
They also entertain audiences by leaping on an alligator’s back, and even by sticking their heads in an alligator’s mouth.
Alligator Wrestler work for government agencies, wildlife organizations, and zoological parks or are self-employed.
