Default Pilots #2 dangeous job

101 deaths per 100,000.
Are private pilots in there?
or is that just professional pilots?
Did they compute the 101 because of the smaller number of pro pilots.

I am surprised mining is not in there.
Or police officer.
I'd take pilot any day.

They mentioned coal mining in China. I read about 4000 die per year
doing that.
