Disability can happen to anyone,
young or old.

According to the Toronto Sun, Paul Thomas was enjoying a day at the beach in July 2009, when navigating the sloping Simcoe WaveDeck proved to be too much for him to handle. The 47-year-old severed a tendon in his left leg and suffered a partially broken kneecap when he fell after trying to descend from the deck's first wave and up to its next highest level.

"I haven't been able to work at all," Thomas told reporters. "It's just devastated my life."

The Sun article went on to detail Thomas's plans to file a lawsuit against Toronto City Hall likely for pain, suffering and lost wages. All things he wouldn't have to worry about had he invested in disability insurance before his accident.
