10 people on average die in the coal mines each and every year.

In 2021 over 700 construction workers died on the job, over 1,000 truckers and material delivery drivers died, over 200 grounds and maintenance workers died, hell 83 retail workers died on the job a year ago as well.  

None of these workers are in the same stratosphere in terms of money or fame as a pro athlete, yet their families and friends were most likely just as devastated.  Many of us may see a small blurb about a job accident and go right on to the next topic.  Everyone needs to be careful.

Not many in my profession (railroad conductor/switchman) die or get maimed even though it can be dangerous work. When something does happen, it’s usually horrific.
When we hit someone, we get 3 days off if we want it, no questions asked.
