<Whether or not there's any price that can be put on someone risking their lives so that others may be safe is a philosophical question. >

And the answer to the question is found when a person voluntarily adopts some risk in exchange for payment of some kind.

Plenty of occupations carry such risk. Firemen, police, security guards and all sorts of jobs involve some risk to protect others.

The key is the voluntary element.
