Can’t really have it both ways.

    I’d bet it counts crop duster pilots, too, who fly very close to the ground in decaying aircraft.

      Plus all the helicopter pilots for remote industrial work. Have you seen the logging helicopters? There’s helicopters for inspecting and servicing electrical transmission lines. Some power companies use giant dangling saws attached to a helicopter to trim trees along lines.

      If you only included passenger aviation, I bet the count would be below average, with most fatalities being from medical conditions while on the job.
