I've heard this before and this I buy. Dudes are getting huge and putting some real demand on their tendons and ligaments- which can be the breaking point for sure.
I tore a thumb ligament skiing back in the day, and it didn't take much but the surgery and rehab hurt like a bitch and took forever. Creepiest and completely uncomfortable feeling to feel a wire looped through 2 holes they drilled completely through my thumbbone as they pulled one end back through to remove it.
