"This is another headline emphasizing that exercise is harmful to the body. The general public who read this headline, and not the full story, will use this ridiculous article as another excuse not to start exercising. You can use that headline and change the words to any occupation. A police officer who exercises has more of a chance dying than entering a house in a domestic situation or stopping a vehicle. Firefighters who keep actively fit and eat healthy set themselves up to deal with on the job incidents. Firefighters who do the opposite of course are going to be more suseptipal to injury. On the job training will of course help prevent injury or death, along with exercise and a healthy diet. Please give me the statistics and long term results of this study. I can be confident that exercise does not kill more firefighters than fire itself. "
