Have you ever known someone who got injured loads and seemed to be proud of it? (lemmy.world)

When I was a kid and teenager there were a couple of people who somehow managed to get broken or sprained bones over and over and over again. Some of them really seemed to like the attention associated with it and would make sure they got into school even when they could've taken loads of days off

People even do this into adult life! What are they doing that leads to so many injuries??

I don't know about proud of it, but lots of injuries... that's just comes along with going at life full tilt. I'm not sure I ever met anyone that was into the attention aspect, aside from the rare chronically ill person who made that their outward identity. But that's not injury.

What are they doing that leads to so many injuries?? My friends, my partner, and myself... we're mountain biking, open ocean sailing, camping, and working on our boats. Picking up some wounds is inevitable. One of the corollaries of Type II and Type III fun is being prepared for unpleasant shit to happen. Most people I know who are going farther afield like this actually push the limits to test their skills and preparedness.
