How often do window washers die though?

$25/hr isn't bad at all for no education or skills.

"According to NBC News, there has been at least one high rise window washer death per year between 2010 and 2014 in the U.S., according to the International Window Cleaning Association. If you break it down, that’s with an estimated 1.5 million “exposures,” whereby workers are on the sides of office buildings, per year during that period.

Fatalities, however, have gone up in recent years. According to a study conducted by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA), in which OSHA tracked accidents over for a fifteen year period, there were 88 reported window washing accidents, of which, 62 resulted in actual deaths. "
