A hypothetical person who has led a fairly active lifestyle in their youth (martial arts, football, baseball, soccer, doing choreographed steps with bands, etc...) can still retain a decent enough sense of balance (despite being slightly out of shape) to keep from busting their ass on the ice.
Said decent enough sense of balance will not prevent that hypothetical person from throwing their back out while avoiding busting their ass on the ice.
