Seriously, not everyone with a pacemaker is old. I have a friend who got one in his 40s. Microwaves generally don't bother pacemakers anymore because newer models have better shielding, but large industrial motors have enough of a magnetic field to affect pacemakers.
I have a step daughter who got a pacemaker at age 1.
The joke was that the car killed them, nothing to do with their age.

We can’t run our Autoclave in the office when there is a patient with a pacemaker. I feel bad for anyone with one of those things.
