Logging / Lumberjack

Logging consistently tops every occupational fatality index — the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics records a fatality rate of roughly 80–100 per 100,000 workers, more than 30 times the all-occupation average. Fallers face "widowmakers" (dead overhead branches that dislodge without warning), massive log rolls, chainsaw kickbacks, and working alone in remote terrain where emergency response is hours away. The United States, Canada, Russia, and Brazil account for the highest logging workforce numbers globally.
