Television isn't real life. It's an entire career's worth of shenanigans compressed into one season because nobody is going to watch them drive heavy equipment back and forth all day with nothing interesting happening.

If it were even close to that eventful people would live-stream it. Note the release schedule of all the <insert workplace more dangerous than an office> youtubers and how little of their content is sketchy stuff.



This goes for most jobs. Pilots: endless boredom punctuated by moments of stark terror.

I'm aware of that. The question was about risky behaviour being more visible in videos from the US than other rich countries.
