New ways of hurting yourself

It's amassing how people can find new ways to hurt themselves. About the time we think we have all the safety problems handled we all seem to find something  new to hurt ourselves on. It's almost a full time job changing things around the school that we have found to hurt themselves on.
The playground is still where most of the injuries happen to students. The Insurance Companies have made the schools remove a lot of playground equipment that they say is dangerous, but kids will find ways to entertain themselves that sometimes become more dangerous than the equipment they were playing on. Are the kids taking more chances during their play time than we did years ago, I don't think so it’s just the way people look at things now. Kids don’t play the way we did before all the electronic games and other things that keep them glued to a computer screen. Maybe the reason we didn’t seem to get hurt as much is because we were more physically fit always on the go playing more than sitting.
I am not sure why we adults seem to get hurt more unless it is because of the fast pace we are living not taking time to think before we act. A lot of us now ready for retirement are saying I wish I would have taken better care of my body when I was young so I wouldn’t hurt so much now.

The wisdom for today is to treat your body good today and it will treat your good tomorrow.
