Most dangerous job in the world

Was that the one where the deckhand gets hit by a 40lb chunk of ice that falls from the rigging?

Yea, and it missed his noggin by 3 inches... He woulda died...

Yep. He was a lucky man. He shook it off for the cameras, but you could see he was in real pain even though the ice hit him a glancing blow on the back at about a 5 degree angle. Change that to a 90 degree wallop on the head and he would have been on ice for the ride home.
