NOBODY is forcing these guys to do what they do. If they are worried about the dangers, then don't play. The rsks are well known and documented. It's not like they are signing up to make unicorn t-shirts, and then being forced to bare knuckle box. Be like the rest of us then, and go punch a clock 9-5.
My job in itself is incredibly stressful. I have numerous weeks where I am being asked to work 6 days, with 2-3 16 hours days in a row. And usually no break but to take a leak. I worry about my health, as it does affect me, mentally and physically. My heart races from the stress. I drink too much coffee, my back gets injured from sitting the entire time, as getting up for a 5 minute walk isn't even an option. I will come in at 8am and not stop for even a minute until 10 or 11pm. However, I am compensated very well to do it, and if I don't someone else will gladly step in.
If I have a heart attack on the job or suffer a break down, I have nobody to blame but myself for accepting the ridiculous terms of employment.
