Skateboarding. Wingsuit flying. BASE jumping.

All seem like SO much fun. But, Im entering middle age with two kids. Broken bones are not fun. Nor are risks not covered by my insurance, apparently. That's what my partner tells me anyway. She gets final say on fun.

Or, the insurance company does. Whichever. They're on the same side: against injury. And fun.

Skate- and/or long- boarding can be relatively safe in a fairly controlled environment. There's no shame in getting fully decked out in protective gear and pads.
