What are the most dangerous jobs?
1. Astro/Cosmonaut (roughly 3,300 deaths per 100,000) 18 known deaths of the nearly 550 astronauts and cosmonauts. This includes 14 space shuttle astronauts, 2 Soyuz cosmonauts, 3 Apollo astronauts, 8 training accidents.2. Sherpa. (1,100 deaths per 100,000) The summit of Mt. Everest actually projects up into the jet stream at times. Sherpas there must deal with extreme cold and lack of oxygen, and have a 1.1 percent death rate. If something goes wrong, rescue can be extremely difficult. Even retrieving the bodies is such a challenge that many are simply left on the mountain, grim reminders of the risks involved. The death rate for climbers is higher -- 1.6 percent -- but that is rarely a job.3. Fisherman. (118 deaths per 100,000)Fishermen endure storms, fog, wind, and hazardous working conditions, which constantly put them at risk of drowning. And if fisherman suffer serious injuries while at sea - such as injury, illness, or hypothermia - medical help isn't quickly accessible.4. Military Serviceman. (111 deaths per 100,000) Technically, the Bureau of Labor does not report statistics on military fatalities, but given the public record they are easy to deduce. And while potentially dangerous under any circumstances, military service has been especially dangerous in recent years due to rising conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq.5. Logging and Timber Workers. (93 deaths per 100,000)The duties of logging and timber workers include cutting down and transporting trees. As such, the nature of their work puts them at constant risk of being killed by heavy, falling objects. Logging and timber workers also are at risk because they often work on steep hills and in hazardous weather.6. Aircraft Pilots. (67 deaths per 100,000)This category includes flight engineers and pilots of both commercial and smaller aircraft including crop dusters and air taxis. Naturally, the primary dangers of flying relate to engine failure, which may lead to crashing.7. Structural Iron and Steel Workers. (56 deaths per 100,000) These workers climb dozens of stories to lay the iron and steel beams that form buildings, bridges, and other structures. Despite strapping on harnesses and other safety gear, structural iron and steel workers face a high risk of fatal injuries from falls, not to mention the many injuries they receive from tools.8. Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors. (44 deaths per 100,000) Although falling into the garbage trucks may result in injury - and often does - the primary cause of death for refuse collectors is being hit by impatient motorists who try to pass garbage trucks at inopportune times.9. Farmers and Ranchers. (41 deaths per 100,000) While often perceived as a peaceful existence, farming and ranching actually presents great danger, mostly in the form of tractors and heavy machinery. In fact, non-highway vehicle accidents account for most of the casualties among farmers and ranchers.10. Electrical Power Installers and Repairers. (33 deaths per 100,000) Power line installers and repairers climb poles and towers to get - and keep - electricity up and running. Power lines are typically high off the ground, so workers are at high risk of injury due to falls. Plus, these workers are often at risk of electrocution from contact with the high-voltage power lines.11. Truck Drivers. (29 deaths per 100,000)Driving is perhaps the most dangerous activity people do, and the danger is only compounded for those who do it professionally. Every day, truck drivers face collisions, overturning, and jackknifing, all of which are more likely and more frequent given their large and clumsy vehicles.12. Construction Workers. (23 deaths per 100,000) Construction workers perform a wide range of potentially hazardous tasks. They work with heavy objects, great heights, and bad weather. Some jobs expose workers to harmful materials such as chemicals, noise, and dangerous machinery, all of which contribute to injuries and death.

Can someone explain a recreational and private pilots' certificates?
The recreational pilot certificate was created by the FAA for "weekend" pilots, retired pilots, and pilots who cannot pass the FAA physical for the private pilots license. It is intended for pilots who fly for pleasure only and limits those pilots to daytime flying, aircraft with no more than four seats and powerplants of 180hp or less. Like a private pilots license, recreational pilots cannot fly for monetary compensation.A private pilot certificate has its own restrictions but a private pilot has the ability to attain further license endorsements to remove those restrictions.A private pilot may not fly in IFR weather until they have attained the IFR endorsement.A private pilot may not fly aircraft with more than a 200hp powerplant without the high-performance endorsement.A private pilot may not fly for monetary compensation without the commercial endorsement.A private pilot may not fly multi-engined aircraft without the multi-engine endorsement.A private pilot may not fly complex aircraft (aircraft with retractable gear and/or constant-speed prop) without the complex aircraft endorsement....and so on.The primary difference is that a private pilot usually intends to go on with their training and eventually attain these endorsements. The recreational certificate is intended for pilots who simply wish to fly on sunny days, just for fun, and has much less stringent requirements as far as training, currency, and medical. Many retired/older pilots who can no longer pass the FAA physical will opt for the recreational certificate so they can still fly for fun. Disabled people also can attain a recreational pilots license, but may have additional restrictions.
