Just curious, but how old are you? It seems that in today's society we
strive to protect our kids from all forms of harm, in every shape and
form, and (I realise this may be controversial to some) I feel it is
counter-productive. When I was a kid, my friends and I used to do all
kinds of stuff that might seem crazy now. We sometimes broke bones and
got hurt, but we lived. Therefore I was just wondering if you're from
"my" generation or from this new generation.

Please note, there's no sarcasm or irony in my questions. I got into
snowboarding knowing full well that I could get hurt, but I try to
minimise my risks accordingly. Like taking it easier on my first and last
day. The same applies when skiing, mountain biking, trekking, or even
driving to work.

Hope your shoulder heals well.
