HR: Low Risk of Drowning or Hypothermia

Perri Kennedy wrote the HR Quote of the Week last Saturday on Twitter:

Watching the “Deadliest Catch” marathon. HR has its downsides, but at least the risk of drowning or hypothermia is relatively low.

    I’m oddly fascinated by The Deadliest Catch myself. After you’ve seen a few episodes, it does get a bit redundant, but when I’m channel surfing, I like to grab a few minutes here and there.

    As I eluded in my blog post today, I truly believe we are wired for certain kinds of work. Alaskan King Crab fishing draws a special breed. The work is astronomically physically demanding. They can work 18 hour shifts when the crabs are hitting. I watched one episode where they were filming some rare crew “time off”, and what did the men do to entertain themselves during their time off? Wrestling! More physical activity.

    I can assure you that these men got plenty of report card comments like: “Johnny just refuses to sit still in class.” The men (I don’t recall seeing any women) who make a career out of Crab Fishing are wired to the core for physical activity.

    Regards,
