If you think everyone is out to get you, you're right.

Train hard and well enough, and you can become immune to explosions, able to tank multi-story falls and a One-Man Army. All that matters is avoiding running out of hitpoints, or Plot Armor...or something.
Good painkillers will let you neglect severe injuries; injuries don't affect you if you can't feel them and you walk them off enough.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms isn't all that interested in a Mafioso who is willing to blow stuff up with a Grenade Launcher, even after they've already destroyed one home.
If you start a fight on a train, no one will care.
No matter how clean your record is, bending the rules once (not break, bend) will get you fired.
