5 Of The Most Dangerous Jobs In The World | Big Business | Business Insider

"risk" is misleading, because it implies that it can be evaded. Doing a job that digs you an early grave is not a risk, it's a sacrifice.

Once again it is proven that modern society is nothing without this kind of hard working people that risk their health and their lives to provide goods for us. the sad part is that almost always they are underpaid and exploited. Huge respect and a big thank you from my side

It's so disturbing and upsetting that billion dollar industries like for sulfur can't spare any of that money to give workers safer gear, which would be the bare minimum of what they should get

i am constantly reminding myself to be grateful, watching something like this is important for me to remain grateful. people literally sacrificing their lives for their family

Earlier this year I visited the Sulphur Mine at Ijen. To see these men working so tirelessly in such dangerous conditions was just unbelievable. Spending only 1-2 hours around the crater, I was struggling with the level of toxic smoke filling the atmosphere. I can't even begin to imagine how it must be for the men who work here for decades

5:47 "A symbol of how Mistar provides for his family's lives, while it slowly takes his." this man is truly a hero

Do we know the companies involved? We need a list! This is outrageous! These workers need to be protected (with paid for protective gear, etc.), and given a MUCH higher wage!

Whenever I find myself complaining about my cozy life and comfortable job, I always come across stories like this that provide perspective on how others live.

These workers are beyond amazing. The horrible things they do for very little pay is so unjust. The sulfur miners have the worst possible working conditions. Driving away in the morning and his wife on the porch saying goodbye was so sad. What can you say.. “have a good day at the volcano”?

these jobs really gives you perspective on how easy we have it in our modern world. I have nothing but the utmost respect for these people that do these jobs, it is their sacrifice that allows the rest of us to work and complain about our easygoing lifestyles.

Holy moly, their aim was freaking amazing! I'd be tossing blocks then walking to pick it up every time lol

Wow! All I have to say is thank you to all the extremely hard working people that do these jobs, so that these products can be made. You all have my utmost respect.

Really makes me ashamed of all the times I've complained at my cozy desk job :( Huge respect to them, I pray they can be paid a lot more and safety equipment and medical.

In the 1980's I worked in a oil refinery in Southern California. We had a Sulphur plant, it was a dangerous but we had many safety accommodations such as hazmat suits and we would wear mask that had air pumped into it for us to breathe. Much respect to those Indonesians to sacrifice themselves for their livelihood and families in this way.

The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, gold, silver and digital currencies

What the acai-farmer sad at the end was really nice, he is poor but his rich in his spirit! I think everyone should take note from this quote!

30 years waking up at 2 am for working in a volcano... and his wife still wakes up with him and prepare him the breakfast and say goodbye. Now that's a marriage.

The man we buy our fruits from used to work in these lime mines. He came to my city Alexandria searching for a better life, I knew him for 30 years, he died few weeks ago and his son took over the fruit stand business now. I never thought how dangerous it is until now although he would tell many stories about it, but seeing it is different. Thanks for this video. Respect to these tough hard working men.

I used to lift up to 250 to 300 pounds monday to friday, 6 AM to 3h30 PM with steel rods. I was about 175 pounds back then. I eventualy destroyed my back, insurance didn't cover it. It "wasn't related to job" My boss was also really cheap with P100 air filter, and those was supposed to be paid by the boss. P100 filter is made to filter concrete dust, and the lifespawn of those is '"change them once a week". So about 40 to 50 hours, but our boss was swaping those shity filter once every 1 to 2 months. I was working with those in my face, breathing really hard just to have enough air to stand still and do nothing at some point. Big respect to those guy's out there. I'm in Canada, law is supposed to "protect workers". It's not what those guy's in the video live's, but still, it sucks. Again, big respect to those guy's.

5 out of 5 of these examples entail products that are highly expensive on the market, and yet these people are paid almost nothing. There needs to be a reassessment, it's disgusting.
