After spending a lot of time around New Bedford (MA) and Pt. Judith (RI) and seeing the memorials, I'm going with offshore fishing.

I guess the original question was a bit misleading. Let's phrase it like this:
"Percentage wise, what is the most dangerous job in America"? Same thing but with more precise definition. |

Definitely fishing, or something I watched on TV said radio tower repair men had the highest fatality rate, go figure.

I knew fishing was high on that list. Construction is pretty dangerous, I think. I once worked in an iron foundry. That was very dangerous. I came close to being electrocuted one day because of someone else's negligence and quit. Six moths later, the person who had taken my place was killed in another stupid accident.

The US Forestry Service: Employees battle raging forest fires, regularly fly helicopters and airplanes, and work in difficult terrain that is home to wild animals. All of that adds up to one of the highest workplace injury and illness rates in the federal government — more than 10 percent of the agency's 32,622 employees reported an injury or illness in fiscal 2009.
AFL CIO Death on the Job Report based on 2009 Bureau of Labor Statistics: The risk of job fatalities and injuries varies widely from state to state, in part due to the mix of industries. Montana led the country with the highest fatality rate (10.8 per 100,000), followed by Louisiana and North Dakota (7.2), Wyoming (6.8) and Nebraska (6.1). The lowest state fatality rate (0.9 per 100,000) was reported in New Hampshire, followed by Rhode Island (1.4), Arizona (1.8), Massachusetts (1.8) and Delaware (1.8). This compares with a preliminary national fatality rate of 3.3 per 100,000 workers in 2009. Latino workers continue to be at increased risk of job fatalities, with a fatality rate of 3.7 per 100,000 workers in 2009. There were 668 fatal injuries among Latino workers, down from 804 in 2008. Fifty-nine percent of these fatalities (393 deaths) were among workers born outside the United States |
