ok, fair. it seems i may have underestimated the number of the bush pilots, but i still insist that the presentation is confusing and it presents “specific subset of the pilots” as “pilots”.
10800 forestry workers in the us in 2024: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/farming-fishing-and-forestry/forest-and-conservation-workers.htm 53 deaths (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cfoi.t03.htm) = a death rate of about .5%, 1 in 200.
826,800 police workers in the us in 2024: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/protective-service/police-and-detectives.htm
132 deaths (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cfoi.t03.htm) = a death rate of about .02%, less than 1 in 2,000.
Edit math and spelling, but check for yourself. Still the difference in magnitude is obvious and always has been.
cool, but that doesn’t really address my complain about pilots. i don’t trust these numbers.
It is on the same website. Not always the same year.
Working pilots: https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/cwc/flying-too-high-workers-fatalities-in-the-aeronautics-field.pdf
80.5 per 100k/ year
Police: https://www.bls.gov/iif/factsheets/fatal-occupational-injuries-police-2018.htm
13.7 per 100k/year
No matter what year you find stats for, pilots outweigh police for death risk. Prove me wrong.
