I have a group of old guys that come out to my track events. The eldest, Leroy, will be 85 in a week - and hauls ass out there.
Last year, Leroy flew through the air during a trackday. He ran wide, and the tire slid out. There he is, flying over his bike - bike spinning down the track - we're all thinking "BROKEN HIP!!!" He came in for an EMS check and simply needed a band-aide. His glove had worn through right on the edge of his hand. He then turned to me and said
"You know what they say, 4 out of 5 people over the age of 70 will fall down this year... I'm just trying to stay within the statistic" 
He was so matter of fact about it... I love my old guys!
