The baiter should never have to enter the trap unless he is under 5' 8". I would say the most dangerous jobs are as follows:

Two way tie for first--
1) Person stacking the traps
1) Person climbing into trap to clean out what did not come out when it was dumped; this job requires a lot of faith in hydraulics
3) Person throwing shots of line


The baiter should never have to enter the trap. I baited for a while during my time out there and we used 6 1/2 x foot traps and I'm 5' 11", I never had to enter a trap. You just lift the bait with one hand and clip it to the top netting, good way to get carpel tunnel and the reason why my hands go numb from fishing here by Aug.
