I attended my high screwl class’s 50th last year. The percentage of members that had one or more joint replacements was alarming. But the percentage of obese, or just inactive lifestyle members held the majority.
Sure, some replacements were because of an injury, but that seems to have been the exception, not the rule.

My wife is an orthopedic surgical PA. They're seeing a lot of elderly patients injured from pickleball. "Job security", and all that.
But it's not just the game that appeals to them. There's also socialization.

Mud and jello are acceptable, as long as Lia Thomas doesn’t join the fun.

Same where I live in the Midwest but seasonal of course. I wonder why/if they have indoor courts for winter. Injury can happen getting out of bed!

or at least a ban on pickleball bump stocks. That's what is clearly causing all these injuries.

Pickleball injuries PB injuries are nothing compared to the injuries suffered by senior softball players.
I know at least a dozen fellow players who have had knee replacements, hip replacements and rotator cuff surgeries. To say nothing about the other injuries such as torn hamstrings and achilles tendon tears.
I had rotator cuff surgery in October, 2019 and surgery on a vertebrae in my neck last September.
With that being said, pickle ball is for sissies........LOL!

If you twist my arm, I may consider this exception as well!

My husband has hurt himself more in 1 year playing pickleball then he has in 50 years of downhill skiing.

I’ve seen that as well. But even risk of injury, people seem to love it. I played a few weeks and found it very boring.

We need sensible pickleball reform. We can’t continue to have all this killing caused by unregulated pickleball.

Dude, the bump stock is how some really old people have the ability to actually return the ball...
Take away the bump stock, people quit playing then the government will complain we don’t get enough exercise...
See???
