A great explanation!: Here's a link: http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/sicklecell/traits.html After reading it (complications & athletics), you may be better able to make informed decisions about the risk level and the cost/benefit analysis involved. So, some planes and durations might be less risky - some forms of exercise too. It's not likely to be all or none - just know what you're doing. Live wisely and moderately.
