add to that list people who do 'extreme sports', those who go hiking & fell walking in T shirt & trainers, and the DIY (no need for a tradesman, I can do that) people who fall off ladders, electrocute themselves, drop paving slabs on their feet, or even decide a load bearing wall isn't really needed and can be knocked down
