Routine?

It says, in the section “Legacy”, that “By the time of Orr's death, the cast had become such a routine part of childhood that a broken leg meant that one's friends would "autograph" the dried plaster while the patient endured a relatively minor inconvenience.” The part “such a routine part of childhood” wrongly suggests that having a broken leg (or arm) during childhood is altogether routine. Plenty of people reach adulthood without ever breaking a bone. I'm 23 years old, and I've never broken a bone. I believe both my parents went thru childhood without a fracture either. My little brother is turning 14 years old in a few days, and he has never broken a bone. How should the “such a routine part of childhood” be rewritten in order to be fair to the millions of children (likely most) who go thru childhood without ever breaking a bone?--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 07:01, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Although I had no broken bones set in plaster till I reached adulthood, plaster casts were by no means uncommon among childhood friends, in the days before adults became overprotective. Children are more prone to experimentation and resulting mishaps than adults, who are more experienced and cautious; plaster casts seem far less common among adults than children. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.145.174.237 (talk) 17:09, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
