alt Hacker NewsSkiing becomes incredibly dangerous once you get into like…your 40s and beyond unless you have been doing it pretty consistently your whole life. And even then it’s still very dangerous. High speeds, downhill, crashes are serious.
It’s a sport many people step away from for long periods of time (I.e. the muscles aren’t in shape and they're rusty) and it demands a lot unless you’re sticking to bunny slopes.
ah okay, yea makes a lot of sense... I would add that motocross is probably also in that camp. Lots of people ride as kids, stop, and then start again later in life. Its a very dangerous sport with lots of significant hard falls.
But its also a lot of fun. Its crazy how much we crave excitement in life but that excitement often carries enormous risks.
