Every day I take my moped to the beach to have a picnic and wonder why Apple watch doesn’t give me the day’s Rings.

I have to wonder if the surfing/water skiing is low in part because if you get seriously hurt in those situations you drown, where a similar injury on land would only be an injury.
I’m thinking broken leg/arm sort of thing.

Fishing > hockey and boxing.
It makes sense when you think about it. More people do it, and I assume it’s mostly injuries from boat fishing, where the boat itself is the danger.
The 25-65, should be broken out to 2-3 different groups.
Also, GenX still trying to skate. Just stop… It’s over.
