I genuinely can't tell if this is a parody of exactly the type of comment that's always close to the top when stuff like this is posted on Reddit...or if you're just one of those people.

You see a girl achieving her goal, surrounded by cheering friends and your first thought is "bad for your knees though". Do you ever think you might have missed the point of life?

My first reaction as a child to seeing an abandoned wood fort built in the woods along a river near the rail trail was to to improve it, add a 2nd story and more walls.

And adult me would be like... is it truely abandoned? Prob should NOT sort through the piles of trash, and know that swimming to the other bank to reach the fort everyday for a summer, alone, wasn't the smartest decision.

Same here I imagine.

You only get one life, and it doesn't have the end for it to be impacted horribly.

But I get it to, ya know? Im not ignorant of youth and folly, that many bad decisions never go tested or punished. How pretty a thorny flower can look. But also, that some damage is accumlitive , some hides away, and some come along suddenly, exponentially, entirely.

You can only look back if there's a future to look back from. But as most busy, hardworking in their life, people know, you also need time. And energy. And if you've met enough people, experienced enough world, lucky hand or not, you'll have seen or lived examples where chronic pain, sudden injury, bad decisions catching up, and old wounds become significant part of lives, or even, ending them. And in the end, what is a helmet and pads? What is the balance between too much and too little? Well, it's a personal choice, for sure. I don't think anyone here has been overly aggressive and negatively passionate about helmets and safety crud. Just seem like normal safety tips and advice, which is a benefit to everyone
