One of the most common causes for injury (especially for elderly
people) is slipping in the bathtub or shower.  Are we to stop
bathing?

Anything one does produces a chance of injury.  I could walk out to
the mailbox and get hit by a drunken driver.  The jar of strawberry
jam could break and I might cut my hand. The papercut on my finger
might get infected.  At what point will the HMOs be able to refuse
treatment? 

This bill is not about dangerous sports -- it's about the medical
insurance people's bottom line.
