[Avodah] Russian Roulette

[Daniel Eidensohn]

**
The question was raised about the parameters of danger in earning a 
living. Igros Moshe (C. M. I #104 page 167) deals with this issue. In 
particular Reb Moshe was asked whether it was permitted to be a 
professional baseball player. He cites BM 112 that permits danger in 
occupations if the occurrence of death or harm is infrequent. He also 
discusses the issue of an occupation where there is a possibility of 
harming others. He permits this if it is infrequent as long as the other 
person is aware of the danger.
