Since this person doesn't know you, they do not know about your conditon. Now this person you survey is a football maniac, and they say you should play. You take their advice and play football. On the first play of the game, you get hit and are paralyzed. The doctors say you are paralyzed from the shoulders down, and will never be able to walk again.
