A lot of people have said that I’m really unlucky, but I’m still skiing, climbing and biking. A disturbing number of my friends have broken their spines at one point or another or have a ridiculous amount of metal holding them up, so I consider myself very lucky indeed.
Also very grateful for the NHS.
And people wonder why I don’t do dangerous shit.
Personally I prefer not having life long medical problems.

I hope that realization changes your perspective enough to reconsider how you go about enjoying your hobbies.
As far as I am concerned you’re lucky and because you have yet to experience the injury that changes your life.
It’s not a matter of if, but when, and how. If you keep doing it for long enough you’ll live to experience it and the regrets that come along with it.
With that said I’ve met a lot of people that have a death wish and will continue doing reckless things until it kills them.
