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.

    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".
