I simply said more than nothing. if that's your inference then it was dumb. sorry, but to say that it causes a lot of injuries without context elsewhere makes the point useless because EVERY activity is likely to cause more injuries than doing nothing, and yet insurance companies pay for a lot of activities. duh.
The difference is that those other activities (fitness gyms, particularly) involve much more cardio and general fitness, and are far better for you overall. Climbing provides little in terms of general fitness. It does, however, provide motivation to become fit.
You do realize that health insurance is business and not charity, right? If you were an insurance decision maker, do you seriously believe that paying to incentivize rock climbing would be a smart move?
Edited to note: I work 40-50 hours a week designing cost-effectiveness and budgetary impact models for private health insurance firms, large employers, and the government. Still want to debate this?
