It is more dangerous to be a salesperson that a firefighter. Nothing against firefighters, but they have a sweet deal. They typically work three days a week, pull in 6 figures and retire with 90% salary plus benefits for life. And they can qualify for this job without a college degree. Not trying to sound harsh, but if you need to have an Oprah-moment for somebody, pick from the list above. Every one listed is more dangerous and they work harder, longer and usually for much less pay.

Your list may very well be accurate but keep in mind that in many communities, firefighter are volunteers, volunteer firefighters comprise about 80% of all firefighters. They get no pay.
Don't know where the list came from but airplane pilot is not considered a dangerous job.
