Hmmm, I don't care what I do to my joints, I love to hike, and I will continue to do so until I can no longer breathe. Keeping yourself active will help ease the pain of screwing up when you haven't done that kind of stuff for a long time.

Wanna swap X-rays? I don't do ladders on barns in the winter anymore for good reason.

Ya only get one set of bones. Well, several sets if you land wrong.
