Of course, there ARE some people for whom it applies, but they are pretty rare. Multiple concussions is a very big concern. Ongoing back problems is a big concern. Two unrelated injuries do not make someone injury prone.

You could look at the two injuries that Zary incurred this season as him being less injury-prone. Both hits looked like he would suffer serious damage requiring surgery, but he was only out for weeks for both. He could be made of adamantium for all we know.
