"inherent significant risk of violent death" 

That suggests there's also the risk of lifelong impairment injury, and you'd spend the next 20 or so years of your life regretting your decision to take that risk for so little money.

Quite simply they cannot pay you enough for that.

An update.

 

I said £600'ish, my former employers have just come back with £290 maximum, so I've suggested they stick it. A bold negotiating tactic!

Make a counter offer of £350 per day.
If they don't get the joke and immediately hire you, then it was never meant to be.

£290 a day wouldn't get them a bricklayer or plasterer!  

 

Stick to your guns and retain your dignity.
