[QUOTE="35years, post: 3141850, member: 60822"] Backing more, and driving more driveways increases your chances of an accident but decreases your injury risk. The way I see it is if I save 50 steps per stop in a rural area, at 100 stops, that saves my back, knees, ankles etc. 5,000 steps a day, 125,000 steps a year . Half of that is carrying boxes, which is hard on your body. Walking them off also dramatically increases your chances of a twisted ankle, slip/fall, disk injury etc. I will trade a cracked mirror once every 10 years to 1,250,000 more steps. Give me a warning letter, my body is more important. [/QUOTE]
