The perception of dangerous jobs often includes police officers kicking in doors and firefighters pulling people from burning buildings.

However, neither of these professions made the top ten list recently released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Workers seem to have more to fear in falls from heights, tending the crops and sanitation then flying bullets, flames or other public safety hazards.

Without further ado here is 2010’s list with 2009’s rankings in parentheses.
