I don't realy fear being killed. Well I do, but I don't let it bother me like people who wont fly on planes. Im more affriad of just getting seriously hurt. The way I see it, if you die, you will never know. But if you get attacked by a shark and lose an arm then you have a permanent reminder of what happened and the pain.
That being said the one thing that scares me the most right now is having to do Lost bather drills in my camp pond. We dive to the bottom of the swim area and try to find the "kid". Along hte bottom of the pond is murk, branches, bricks, debris that are painful, and the occasional snapping turtle. That is what scares me.

[quote="Mr.Buttocks":6921a][quote:6921a]The Six Most Feared But Least Likely Causes Of Death

Falling to death: In 2001, more than 11,600 people aged 65 and older died from fall-related injuries, representing a very real concern. Children are also at risk of falling if they're not being properly supervised. But the type of fall we're talking about here is the kind that occurs from a height and to adults. While falling from a height is a leading cause of work-related death among construction workers, it kills only an estimated 80 people each year. And, the risk to the general population, who are exposed to heights less often, is likely to be lower than that.

[/quote:6921a][/quote:6921a]

Had 5 people die in an constuction elevator about two months ago on a high rise about a mile from my job site. Wasnt installed properly and the safty switch at the top of the track wasnt installed, elevator operator didnt stop it and its motor over ran the top of the track and it dropped all the way back down. I forget how many floors but it was quite a few.

Then there was a guy who was improperly "tied off" Meaning the safty latch on his "p - hook" wasnt closed and it slipped out of the hole he had it placed in. He fell quite a ways, but luckly didnt die. He just broke his back and can no longer walk. He worked for our company on another job.

Then there was a guy i worked with who fell through a "deck" (a plywood sheeted set of aluminum beams that you pour concrete on). The rigger had center loaded the beams which made the ends float and when the guy walked on it (not tied off when he should have been) the beam and plywood shifted and hell fell below hitting all the supports for the beams. A total of about 10-12 feet, dislocating his knee and giving him a concusion. Shut down the site for an hour while we cleared a path for the paramedics. Then we just focused on "saftying" up the site knowing LNI would be visiting us after that.

Also job sites are just plain unsafe places to be. They try to preach safty but once working rarly take a minute or two to show concern for it unless your being brazingly stupid. IE, Your supposed to "tie off" while working within 10 ft of an edge, or when climbing and your feet pass 4ft in the air. Most people tie off when clibing because they typically need to use there hands while up there. But the near the edge thing is often ignored unless the head honchos are watching.

Long stories short, im surprized its only 80 constcuction workers a year.
