Entering Sakana for the sake of Parnasa:[1]
According to all, it is permitted for one to slightly endanger his life for the sake of Parnasa, making a livelihood. Thus, one may go hunting despite the risks that it carries. Likewise, one may travel by ship for the sake of business through risky water despite the fear of shipwreck. Likewise, one may climb to high places for the sake of his livelihood [such as to climb a tall tree to bring down fruits, or become a window cleaner of a high rise].[2]
