As we expose our kids to more and more outdoor activities it just sorta happens.
I wouldn't call it a fear exactly, but I've found my love of snowboarding has essentially vanished since having kids. I was having a spirited discussion with an Irishman a few years back about wearing helmets. He was arguing they detract from the experience while I was arguing that it's odd to not wear one considering you can't see it, and you're travelling at such a high rate of speed. Since that conversation all I can think about is how fast I go and what one bad moment can do to my body. As others have pointed out, once you're out of your 20s the body doesn't exactly spring back from injury anymore.
