Many professions have inherent dangers. Catching crabs is one of them.

"Statistically, Alaskan crab fishing remains one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. In 2006, the Bureau of Labor Statistics ranked commercial fishing as the job occupation with the highest fatality rate with 141.7 per 100,000, almost 75 percent higher than the rate for pilots, flight engineers and loggers, the next most hazardous occupations. However, Alaskan crab fishing specifically is even more dangerous with over 300 fatalities per 100,000. Over 80% of these deaths are caused by drowning or hypothermia. The fishermen are also susceptible to crippling injuries caused by working with heavy machinery and gear."

The only path to change is reform.

  • i did like the rest of the new years vid.. very cool. XD and did i spot a reference to a situation involving lil ole me in there or is that my immense ego talkin?

    dont get upset by me sayin sex pozzies are idiots.. a lot of them cant help it, bless em.

    the crab thing dont fly dude.. really, prostitution is not analogous to this or to police work. its best to stick to the actual topic at hand with this one imo. comparisons invariably butcher the subject.

  • @SkidRowRadio I agree...now, if certain idiots would stop comparing it to slavery or rape, then maybe we could actually have a dialogue about this? ;-)

  • You stole my idea you bastard! Fuck it, I'm still using it in my video >:-D

  • @CappitranoBellephant Pffft, go ahead, it's only been like a year and a half. =P

  • This is a great video. Those stupid crabfisherfundamentalists really deserve to die if they wont let us save them by banning their abusive way of life. This filthy crabocentric, boatogynistic, culture of drowning makes me sick. CRABBER HATE!

  • @shameoncanada Bahahaha!  =)
