Injuries...

How do injuries affect your work and any sports you do?
From the age of around 12 up until I was 20 I did motorcross (dirt biking If you will) at a good level competing in races every month. I loved it, the adrenaline you got from it was unbelievable and I managed to go 8 years with out a broken bone, a few bruises and a lot of crashes yes, but never anything serious.

This was up until 2015 when I hit a jump wrong and ending up flipping along with my bike and somehow landed on my arm, breaking it along with disclocating my wrist. The broken bone was actually a simple fix with a plate, but the wrist was more complicating meaning I needed a full cast. This accident made me realises that I can't continue with a dangerous sport like this as if I crashed again and had more time off how would I explain this Timmy company? ( I work on the railway)

This reason along with my arm being very weak and still painful, I gave up a sport i loved due to having to grow up I suppose. Has anyone else been in a situation where a injury has caused them to reevaluate a sport they are doing?
