Commercial Fishing Is the 3rd Most Dangerous Occupation in the U.S.

"The fishing industry is a perennial leader as measured by death rate and 2004 was no different; 38 fishermen died, a rate of 86.4 per 100,000 [workers]. Drowning is the most common cause of death in this industry, but fishermen also suffer from fatal accidents in handling some of the heavy equipment that the modern fisheries employ." - excerpt from the article at http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/26/pf/jobs_jeopardy/index.htm
