It is, but it could (and probably should) be a thing for any activity where protective gear is required.

On average, yes. Coincidentally this is a good way to adapt to hot climates; as mass grows faster than skin surface your heat-exchange area decreases proportionally. Yes, there are anomalies in this, like elephants.

Count me in. Or rather, I could probably afford to have the thing repaired and since no one accepts to do that I might even try to do it myself if I had the necessary equipment. I refuse to pay some 1200€ to swap out the entire compressor + gearing/clutch mechanism (which is most like the bit that's broken). Of course I am beginning to question my "I hardly use it anyway" justification. Maybe buy a few lottery tickets when the jackpot is high...
