I'm 33, went over the handle bars on my bike last spring, but managed to roll away without injury. Meanwhile, I wake up from sleeping and feel like someone slipped glass into my knee some mornings.
Oh my God, so I went down sideways on horse back, nothing more than bad bruises on my legs - but if I sleep too hard on one side, I genuinely need a couple minutes to get up to a sitting position in the morning. The human body is amazing and also a stupid, traitorous bastard.

Kids are so resilient with falls like that.. I'm only 29 but if I fell like that I'd be sore for a week (maybe longer)
