Bruce hit it - the odds of most people reaching a ripe old age is slim. :)

The closest I came to ending it all was heading out of Memphis on the I-55 bridge on my Honda 650 (this was back in the early 80's and I got ran off the road by an old Ford pickup truck. Problem was the side of the "road" in this case was a flooded area about 40' lower. The officer who wrote it up said I was airborne for almost 100 feet and fortunately for me the field had been flooded till recently and allowed me to land in mud. I collapsed a lung but other than that no injury but my whole body was black and blue on the parts I landed on for weeks. The Honda was sold after it was cleaned up.

Every horse rider I know is physically about 20 years older than their real age. You horse people are crazy! (My husband used to be a horse farmer, I can say that!)
When you mess with things bigger than you, chances are....you're gonna get hurt. Now about cows......I honestly don't know how the hell I kept from getting gored by momma cows convinced that I was a weird looking coyote or by bulls with a bad attitude. I do like cows and miss them, but I'm gonna be a good girl and stick to sheep. No more 2,000 pounds of I-am-pissed-off-and-you'll-do-for-a-target. They don't even have to have horns, they can grind you to hamburger meat with their massive heads-backed up by a ton of I'm-big-and-bad-what-are-you-gonna-do-about-it
