Helicopter linemen and helicopter painters are highlighted for their adrenaline-inducing nature. Rope access work and the profession of a mortician are also mentioned, with some expressing confusion about the appeal of the latter. Exciting jobs like technical photography for military operations and test pilots for experimental aircraft are noted for their risks.

The conversation touches on the hazardous nature of fishing boats, particularly in extreme weather conditions, and the historical risks in construction projects like the Golden Gate Bridge. Overall, the thread explores the allure of high-risk jobs and the personal motivations behind pursuing them.

There was a documentary recently on the dangers of crabbing in the cold northern waters, very dangerous storms, waves, you go numb and a wave hits you and you can't hold on any longer and are swept overboard - bye bye. Get hit by a crab pot when it comes up on deck, bye bye - get caught by one being sent done under Bye bye.Astronuc said:
