“I’m a trained professional and I wouldn’t do it.”
We had everyone from car mechanics to attorneys to everyday people write in.
Here are all the best insights:

“I am a physiotherapist and I would never do full sit-ups.
Traditional sit-upscause microtears of the lumbar discs.
By the time you reach your 20s, they can be easily herniated from something simple as bending over.
There is a ton of research about this and yet they make kids do them at school.
Do planks!!!
They are better for your core and no trauma to the spine.”
“As an attorney, I would never talk to the police.
If you arent under arrest, the most police can require you to do is identify yourself.
Otherwise just shut up and walk away.”
“A good friend of mine works for the Board of Education.
She educates teachers, teaching assistants, and anyone who interacts with children on how to keep them safe.
“Cyclists at night who don’t have lights on their bike.”

“Not wearing your seatbelt correctly or at all.
Your seatbelt is the single most important and effective safety feature in your car.
Wear it tight over your lap and over your shoulder.
Not behind your back.
Not under your arm.
Not buckled behind you.
“Running down the stairs, or just plain not using the handrail.
He had broken his neck falling down the stairs.
Hold onto the rail!”
“Playing on a trampoline.
Well, my mother worked as an insurance underwriter for decades.
Part of her job was deciding if large companies were worth insuring or were too big of a risk.
Guess which companies her insurance company flat-out refused to cover?
Most trampoline-related injuries come from having multiple idiots on the trampoline at the same time.
Trampoline is an Olympic sport and can still be incredibly fun without having to do anything extra dangerous.
Cant tell you the amount of times Ive seen things stuck up there.”

“Get on a ladder.
Im a trained professional in the trades and I have seen some very scary things happen on ladders.
To give you an example, my partner is a new concrete technologies specialist.
“I’m a product engineer in the automotive accessories space.
“Thinking short-term and not long-term.
“Participating in diet culture.”
I truly believe social is much more harmful than we think.
It can be physically harmful, too; it can lead to stalking, robberies, and murder.

“Not temping home-cooked food.
If it flies, 165!
Temp your pizza rolls.
For goodness sake, temp every meat and never ever reheat leftovers more than once.”
“Eating raw fruits and vegetables without washing them first.
I mean, seriously.
you’ve got the option to get some really nasty bugs.”
And lastly:
18.“Speeding.
Actually, any kind of reckless driving.
Car accidents kill and cause injuries to so many people.
