Risk Takers
From policing in the murder capital of the US, to searching for bodies in an inferno, these risk takers earn their paycheques in ways most of us couldn’t - or wouldn’t - dare to attempt.
US Border Patrol Agents
The U.S. Arizona-Mexican border is the most heavily used corridor for illegal alien traffic on America's southern boundary.
High Risk Photographer
Imagine braving blizzards where the cold is a numbing –45 below zero or climbing to altitudes on mountains that make most people sick.
Bounty Hunter: Walter Fernandez
It’s four a.m. and we’re in a back alley of a seedy part of town. Everyone is asleep and all is quiet. But it only seems that way. Coming out of the shadows, a group of four masked men is slowly approaching a house, two in the front and two in the back.
The Killer Bee Removal Specialist
For most people, the sight of hundreds of swarming killer bees is extremely frightening, but for Reed Booth it’s exciting.
Stuntmen
For Gaston Morrisson and Jon Kralt, a day at the office often means being set on fire, getting thrown 30 feet in the air, or crashing a speeding motorcycle.
The Polar Bear Alert Program
Imagine standing face to face with a ten-foot-tall, 1 500-pound polar bear. Now imagine it has sharp, jagged teeth, massive claws and is running at you at speeds close to 25 miles an hour.
Blasters
Imagine a mountain blowing up in front of you or handling thousands of pounds of explosives right in the middle of a busy, downtown city.
Los Angeles Paramedics
For a paramedic stationed in one of the most dangerous areas of Los Angeles, it’s an all-out, hit-you-over-the-head reality.
Loggers
When it comes to logging, the danger isn’t just in the forest; it’s in the job description. From cutting down trees to transporting timber, logging is one of the riskiest jobs in the world.
Coast Guard
Cruising their cutters through the open ocean and flying their jets and choppers overhead, the United States Coast Guard is always ready to serve and protect America’s waterways.
