Sporty type told to naff off by ACC

Into self induced joint wrecking injuries from a long sporting history?
highlighting the involvement in these sports as a "continuous process of damage" to his knees

You'd do well to take out some of your own medical insurance after this ruling against an insurer trying to claim off the taxpayer. Rightly so. Why should the taxpayer pay for your self-harm over the years? Now watch the cost of such insurance rise.

Those who follow sporting thuggery on telly like Alf from Eke' are safe in their armchairs with a whisky in hand. It's only the ones on the other side of the box with an active history sporting that this seems to apply to. Although, I suspect ACC like any insurer would weasel out of elbow bending as RSI if they could.

Terribly sorry, old chap but you've got it all wrong. It's got nothing to do with sport. The condition was deemed to be caused by illness, not accident. Namely osteoarthritis.

Would have to disagree there. I would suspect that sport self-harm aggravates the condition.

Like using up your allocated but limited number of total life heart beats in the name of exercise.
