Did they take into the account the increased risk of being active, like falling when rock climbing, getting eaten by a shark when surfing, getting hit by a car when riding, etc? I think this only applies if you always wear a helmet, never pass cars/trucks on the right, always come to complete stops at stop signs... I don't think I'm going to make it.
