Yeah, I would put that in the luck category. Picking up any chronic injury can definitely have negative outcomes to your ability to maintain your mobility and your overall health.
I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation, and it’s made me a lot more cautious about engaging in a lot of activities that may be fun, but just aren’t worth the risk.
I used to ride motorcycles in college, but gave it up after my first stint in a trauma ward.

You don’t even need trauma or injury to have issues.

True, though I would say that acquiring a chronic illness or deformity is even more just luck of the draw. At least you can avoid many injuries by being cautious.
My main point was that luck is not the main determining factor for the vast majority of the population.
