Most Dangerous Job in the Gulf??

I've heard that "crabbing" is the most dangerous profession. I'd risk a bet that being a courier in Abu Dhabi is a close second, if not equal to crabbing. It has amazed me that I haven't seen more accidents involving the little motorbikes that these guys speed around on. They weave in and out of crazy, fast traffic with little or no evidence of fear. Today we came across this tragic site. As we pulled up to the area, the courier was getting up off the ground and shaking his hand as if that's where the pain was. After seeing his bike and the damaged car that hit him...I would call him the luckiest of men with the most dangerous job in the world!
