Can you guess this most dangerous occupation?

Who would take this ridiculously dangerous job?

Nearly half of all the people in this occupation have needed some type of surgery and the average worker has been injured at least four times while on the job. What's more, the majority of people have had heat-related injuries.

While there are fewer than 10,000 people in the country who do this job, there never seems to be a shortage of people willing to do it. And except for a very few, the pay stinks.

What occupation is it? [Answer appears a few posts down]
 
I'd say firefighter, except they get paid pretty well and there are WAY more than 10,000 of them...

iron workers. i was watching something on discovery about the new bay bridge and the work is literally backbreaking. being that it's all outdoors i imagine there is a lot of heatstroke
 
It wouldn't normally be considered the type of job you'd do as a long-term career move and resume-enhancer, but it's nothing to be ashamed of either. In fact, most people would be proud to tell others.

And my guess is that not too many older people would take it on (considering the injury statistics).

Sounds like the career is 'Crash test dummy'.
