Being 54 I try not to think about that too often, but it seems that age does make a big difference in how much damage you can survive. I read something about this. Two people with the exact same injuries and one is say 20 the other is 50, the older person is much more likely to die from it than the 20 year old. I guess that is why we get slow and careful when we get old.

I guess imagine if a bunch of 50year olds tried the shit they try on Nitro Circus. They'd for sure die.
