I know you're joking, but it's a scary dangerous job.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoMost explosives (especially the kinds used commercially) are very stable. It's a feature. I can't see it being any more dangerous than anything that involves standing on the side of the road (tow truck driver, garbage man, cop) or working at height (various construction and maintenance trades). The only reason it could be scary is because people fear what they're unfamiliar with.
