A fear of busted knees

Soccer is starting to scare me. A girl on my team tore her ACL about a month back doing basically nothing. There wasn't anyone nearby. She just stopped and then she was on the ground and now she will have surgery and be out of commission for the next 9 - 12 months.

As my skills are starting to improve (read: develop) I find myself in more and more situations where I see potential for bodily injury. Call me a wuss, but the last collision which resulted in me limping and taking Ibuprofen was too reminiscent of the near arthritic knee problems
I had in high school. I think I might have to forgo winter season for something less...aggressive?
