    Don’t worry y’all, I’m an expert at interpreting chart data. What this tells us is that although you lose your childhood resilience over time, your wall-punching resilience increases from your teenage years through the rest of your life. By 70, you’re guaranteed to be indestructible when it comes to wall punching.

    Just recalled I punched a wall in my later teens. No damage to me. I put a poster over the hole and it was not discovered till I went away to college.

    Knew a girl in college that punched the post holding up the elevated subway in NYC. She needed a cast.

      Not sure where the above data is from but according to the below NIH study it’s about a 80% male, 20% female split. Which isn’t precisely what you were looking for but can probably give you a solid basis for inference.

      Also sort of interesting is that female patients were almost twice as likely to have a previously diagnosed psychiatric disease (23% of male patients and 49% of female patients). On the other hand, males were significantly more likely to have sustained a fracture (48% of the male patient and 11% of the female patients). For sure some stark contrast between the two but I don’t find that particularly surprising.

      What is surprising to me is that both males and female patients with previous visits for punching related injuries was about the same (23% of males and 29% of females). Would be nice to know the overlap of people with multiple punching related injuries that also have a psychiatric diagnosis, because I imagine they overlap quite heavily.

    I like that little last hoorah jolt at 50 for the guys to get one last swing to finish the job they started 30 years ago.

      That’s a good round number to trigger a crisis that you’re getting old. Better start punching things to prove them all wrong.

        At 51 you realize you can’t punch things any more without severely affecting your hands for the rest of your life

    After 64, most people are too weak to punch walls.

    Except Angry Jimmy and his walker.
