I’m 64 and I’ve broken or bruised ribs 6 or 7 times, broken a couple fingers, lots of scuffs and a few stitches. One broken finger resulted in tearing off the fingernail too from the top not the tip. And 12 stitches to the knee. That’ll teach me to be cheap and not replace that chainring. Or wear fingerless gloves ever again. I’ve never been the careless type. I creep up on skills. Go slowly bigger and bigger at a comfort level for me.
