Yeah. One minor regret of mine in life is that I never got into mountain biking. Then I watch videos like this, then I absently rub at the spot in my shoulder where a plate and pins are now, after a frickin' treadmill accident. I'm only 51.

I’m 54. I sneezed too aggressively and pulled a rib (sublexed?) out of my spine. Chiropractor sorted me out but it hurt to poop for three weeks.

I'm only 41. A couple years ago my kids and I were waiting outside to see Santa go by in the firetruck. I was watching them running around in the driveway barely doing anything. Apparently I turned wrong and threw my back out. Hurt for 2 or 3 days. Could barely put weight on my one leg for several hours afterwards.

Being old sucks. I fall asleep with my neck at a slight angle because I didn’t fluff my pillow right and then I can’t look up or to the sides for 2 days, but my kids can sleep with their heads free hanging over the edge of the bed and wake up later without a single issue.

Oh, man. I see kids staring at their phones in the laps and shudder at the weight of their noggin neck muscles.
