no bones about it

Jan Youren has broken more bones than anybody you know (we hope). She has ignored the advice of doctors, parents and her eight children who tell her to stop riding because they are afraid she'll seriously hurt herself.

After a broken back, two dislocated shoulders, and a major warning from her doctor, Jan bounced back to win yet another world rodeo championship title. Jan knows what she wants, and she listens only to her inner instincts.

But is there a flip side? Is she being responsible to herself and to the people she loves? What would you do in her position? How much risk is too much risk?
