Take Dr. Esselstyn's biking accident a few years ago. Dr. Esselstyn fractured his pelvis in several places.
People are advised to wear bicycle helmets when biking. But I've never heard people advised to wear a helmet when jogging or running.
I am biased because I am a runner. I have been able to stay injury free for the last several years. I think if one keeps the intensity of ones running low and keeps the mileage reasonable, avoiding injury as a runner is not hard. But that's just me. I know lots of runners who do have all kinds of issues with their knees and feet and hips.

The technique has been pretty mainstream for at least five years. The proper foam rollers are extremely dense and have very little give! It's like massaging out your body, by using your own body weight against the foam roller -- feels amazing.
