Yep, if you slice and dice the data the right way, you do get those
results.

If you go by industry, construction is by far the most dangerous.

If you take out the few high risk piloting occupatations such as
crop dusting and fire fighting, aviation is hardly dangerous.

For real data instead of hype, go to http://www.bls.gov

One nice summary is at http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/cftb0219.pdf
