Isn't "[ruining] their bodies through accumulated injuries" the same thing as wearing their body out?
- WalterBright 4y agoNo, it isn't the same thing. Just like crashing your car isn't the same thing as wearing it out.
- jjulius 4y ago>Just like crashing your car isn't the same thing as wearing it out. Not taking precautions, for instance, when driving over potholes can wear certain facets of the car down without doing significant immediate damage, the same way that taking certain falls or hits can wear a body down. You don't need a crash.
