Mountain bikers becoming injured isn't a question of IF, but WHEN.

If you have a coworker in their 30s or 40s who is just starting to get into mountain biking (a common midlife crisis hobby), expect them to have a MTB related injury within the next year.

I noticed this years ago. First thing two cyclists do upon meeting each other is compare injuries. It's like dogs sniffing each other's butts.

It's not that bad. And if you start early in your life, any injuries that might happen to you will heal much faster.
