Compared to the last sport I was seriously involved in (deep shipwreck diving), this is a walk in the park. Several deaths a year off NJ were common and always freaked out my family, and my wife is a diver herself. So, if I get hurt and she starts complaining, I just say OK, I could sell the bike and get a new closed circuit mixed gas rebreather to go deeper and longer than ever. That usually changes her tone.
Good luck with the injuries. That impaled foot brings back memories, I have some knarly photos I should dig out.
