Taking chances and getting injured stops being fun after a while. Although, on April 30th, I rode a skateboard in Walmart, just for the fun of it.  |
I guess you are making my point, in a way. You rode a skateboard in Walmart for the fun of it. You could have fallen off of it and hurt yourself. You took the chance, had fun and didn't get hurt... A choice you made.
Some things enrich one's life so much you take the chance, mitigating the risks as much as possible. (I don't put riding a skateboard in that category, but to each his own!) Otherwise you sit in a chair for the rest of your life.
