I wonder what happens to get those numbers for the air transportation industry? I definitely didn't expect it in the top...

I had a friend who worked on the ramp at SFO. Saw him real shook up after work, said he saw a coworker drive one of their carts under a plane while looking elsewhere- and got his head cut off.

It's a very physical job with a lot of powerful machines.

These are just deaths. I wonder also about exposure related hazards.
