My dad worked on rigs back in the 70’s. He lost a few fingers and had several near-death experiences. One story that was particularly spooky was when he was working on a rig in the south china sea. My dad came down with something and became violently ill while working on the rig. They flew him to the mainland to recover and had an alternate take his place. During his recovery the rig was hit by a monsoon and the whole platform flipped 180 degrees. Sadly there were no survivors.. If my dad wasn’t sick, he wouldn’t be here today and y’all wouldn’t be reading this comment.. Pretty crazy stuff

She had to work 2 weeks on land and 2 weeks Offshore. She got accepted into the job. She was ready to work. But She had also got accepted into A medical school. She had to choose 2, Hospital? Or Offshore Rigs? She chose to work at A Hospital than rather to risk her life in an Offshore Rig. She Made the right choice, Why? The day She started working in the hospital, The Offshore Rig that She was supposed to work in had exploded due to a failure in the Drills.

I was trapped on a rig in the path of Hurricane Alicia. A pipeline inspection helicopter had to sit down on our pad because of the wind. The wind speed indicator went to 120 and it had already been destroyed. When our rescue chopper got there it couldn't sit down because there wasn't room. One plan was for us to crawl out to the chopper hanging on to the cyclone fence surrounding the pad. Needless to say it was vetoed. We had to ride it out for over 2 days with the rig shaking and vibrating like it was falling apart. Lightening kept hitting the flare boom and fire would roar out about 30 feet. I really thought it was going to be the end. We had been working 30 feet above the water line and all the equipment was washed away. When we flew into Houma we found out that we were the only contract hands left out there, we had made the news. Driving home to Houston it looked like a giant had flattened everything going west. It was hairy to say the least. And, you've never seen night until you get out a hundred miles, or so.

I've worked on quite a few rigs as a roughneck and roustabout and while doing my health and safety representative course, they were saying that at times the most dangerous is the chopper ride to the rig and back, if the chopper went down you had to not get disoriented once in the water and escape the chopper and then get to the surface if its going down under the water and you didn't get out before hand safely. Especially at night you may end up swimming down instead of up if your buoyancy vest doesn't inflate. Very dangerous working on the rig at times like you mentioned though, I'll very much agree with that.

Haven't worked on an oil rig, but I have been on 4 surface combatant ships within the Navy. Deployed around the world. I have been on the decks between 10pm-4am. Some fog and no moon. Absolute darkness and crashing waves. I can only imagine an elevated platform in the middle of it. Professions like oil riggers deserve their salaries and then some.

Perhaps your experience was to encourage you to ponder God has said in the Quran: Or (the unbelievers’ state) is like the darkness in a deep sea. It is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds. Darknesses, one above another. If a man stretches out his hand, he cannot see it.... (Quran, 24:40) Revealed to an unlearned man, in the middle of a desert (Prophet Muhammad s.a.w) How could he have known.

I almost lost my mind. I wasn't even out there on the rig most times, I was a data analyst and safety systems specialist, so was inside other than when troubleshooting safety devices needed to happen. Imagine the welders, the drill operators and others out in those conditions. Good money but a real scary and mentally draining job.

@@chaosdweller@rocko_M don't know about commercial fishing, which is a LOT more dangerous, but I highly recommend looking into working on the oil rigs, they work 3 months on 3 months off. Most guys are making at least 10-25k a month. My former partners father had a 10 million 30 bedroom small family hotel, he had a construction company, a company who supplied construction companies, a toy shop for his grandchildren and a dog groomers. He didn't like paying outsiders regularly. So he opened businesses in what he and his family needed. There's others but I can't remember them all. He was an Irish guy who left school at 8 to start working. He made his first million in his early 20s and bought his wife a hotel. He could have stopped there and lived perfectly comfortably for the rest of their life. But he kept grinding and he did 3 months on 3 off. He easily had over 50 million in savings businesses assets stocks and hidden rainy day funds. His brother did the exact same thing except he built his company in construction and drilling and he's a literal multi billionaire. You would know the name but you'd NEVER believe that crazy old bloke who sleeps upside down and dresses like a construction worker owns it. His company built much of Dubai and Saudi Arabia including the buildings you would recognise. If a guy who left school before he even started can achieve so much so can y'all! Throw yourselves into working while you're there and enjoy your time off wisely. Don't chase girls and fast cars, focus on earning money that can be invested into something you want to work in and that will bring you great returns. MOST of the guys end up doing one of two things, either p!ssing away all their money and having to keep coming back or they invest their earnings into another business and then they give up the rigs. It can be a great job where you'll create wonderful memories and stories to tell the grandkids, but it can mess you up physically if you try to do it too long. You have to work your way above the extremely physical lower level jobs if you intend on a long career, plus they also pay MUCH more. The modern safety equipment and standards have been a GAME CHANGER! When they started it was common to see a guy seriously hurt or killed on the jobs. Now they're EXTREMELY safe and yes you CAN still get injured or k!lled, but it's VERY RARE and usually because someone was doing something they KNEW they SHOULDN'T be doing. Stick to the rules and you'll be fine. You'll have a great time if you're not scared of hard work. If you can work on a boat you'll LOVE working on rigs. They're just giant funny shaped boats that rarely move. 😂 Many guy's get really addicted to it and can't stop themselves coming back. So make sure you find the right partners 😂 I HIGHLY recommend you go for it and give it a try if it interests you. You'll be SO thankful you did. It's NOT 🚫 for the wusses or cowards. But if you're strong 💪 ot the perfect place to earn starter money for you, and your family.

Yep. Went out on a 225ft. tender as an oiler (engine room crew). Nuthin' like sitting where I could look down the shaft alley and watch that ship twist and bend in the heavy seas. That wasn't the scary part. The scary part was when you heard a loud bang. That was a weld breaking under the stress. Hull plating separating from the frames, somewhere. That is when you start praying to whatever gods there are to bring you home safely. Men go down to the sea And there, they set out upon her in small boats When she is placid, she yields her bounty to those who seek it. But when grows wild, she becomes capricious and takes what she wills Leaving friends and loved ones on the shore yearning for a glimpse of a familiar sail upon the horizon that will never come. Men go down to the sea..... Does give you a whole new perspective on things.
