If you lift weights, there's a chance that something could go wrong; doubly so when you're testing your own limits. People often get hurt while performing exercises that would normally be considered fairly safe. The only reason we consider them to be safe is because humans have a remarkable ability to recover from injury, and the chance of an uninjured person dying outright is extremely remote.The only way a healthy person could die while running a marathon, aside from outside hazards, is if they kept running even while suffering multiple injuries during the process. And since only a moron would possibly do such a thing, it's not something that we need explicit rules for.</blockquote>
