And doing the same in reverse at the end of the day. I would argue a pilot taking a train to the airport is much less likely to die in a work /related/ accident then is a programmer driving to work!

The source is the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it looks like it only covers U.S. workers. To use an antisocial slashdot-ism, RTFA :) Still, that's an interesting point about presidents and astronauts.

Regarding the sales-delivery drivers, like Dominos guys, vending machine stocker guys, etc. do not just die in accidents. They are also frequent targets of assault and robbery. You don't think about Domino's guys putting their lives on the line to deliver your pizza, but I guess they do.
