    Her claim was that she couldn’t work or play with her kids for five years though. Tossing trees seems like a pretty excessive activity compared to some light playing with kids or light work.

    Part of me does agree since I had terrible fatigue for a few years, some days were better than others so I understand wanting to do more when you feel better but if you’re in the middle of a claim to pay out 650K then it may be better to know your limits. Especially for back and neck injuries. She could have played with her kids in that time instead which is what she was concerned about for the claim.

      Nobody is talking about the fact that she won the competition. “I feel normal today” typically doesn’t lead to winning tree throwing competitions, but that’s a small sample set so maybe I’m wrong.
