[Elliott_Thinas]

Apart from your soldiers and guards, who obviously expose themselves to the most danger by battling orcs and goblins, what generally is your most dangerous occupation?
My current fortress has lost 6 miners; 4 to magma, 1 to orcs and 1 to insanity. 2nd place is the hunter/rangers, who have lost 3 to the grizzly bears and 1 to the orcs.
I love it when my civilian dwarves die actually. During my most recent siege the orcs siezed a hatch and were spilling across our massive main hall, a 50 by 50 set up. Watching the civies run chaotically away from the monsters was pretty awesome.
I'm getting carried away. Who dies the most and why?

[worldspawn]

Fisherdwarves
carp

[Overdose]

Noble

[Jim Groovester]

Masons. Trapping themselves.

[Flying Carcass]

Mother.

Seriously, half the mothers in my current fort have had insanity-related demises. Granted, that's true for a good number of my dwarves, but that's besides the point.

[Martin]

Health care. Always running into battle, and halfway across the map to find water.

If you consider the danger of the job relative to the time performed doing it, I'd have to go with health care.

[Neruz]

Definitely nobles; their rooms have this annoying habit of suddenly and randomly filling up with magma.

[Michaelsoftman]

Fishing!

They always get taken by goblin ambushes.

They are always outside as soon as sieges come.

And let's not forget carp.

[ein]

Definitely nobles; their rooms have this annoying habit of suddenly and randomly filling up with magma.

Often after they request something absurd like 100 diamond-encrusted steel crowns.
On a map without flux.

Nobles live dangerous lives I suppose...

Also, a poll should be added.

If only we could find the cause of these annoying magma floods. They just keep happening and i don't know why!

[tigrex]

Usually dwarves which are required to go outside die the most.  Fisherdwarves, plant gatherers, woodcutters, hunters etc. 

[Eater of Vermin]

Recruits...  massive injury rates even when they never see the outside of the barracks.

(Who really thinks of them as soldiers?    )

[Dwarf]

Definitely Soapmaking.

Prone to 're-education'

[Antioch]

sock hauling

[Jackrabbit]

Being born is probably the most dangerous occupation. Worse still, you stay born till you die.
