"Night Editor! We need copy!"

[captainsblog]

Or rather, "copy editor! We need synonym!"

Eleanor's writing a post as we speak. She's recalling an unfortunate incident, close to a decade ago, where Emily broke a finger while rollerblading near a friend's house.

The concept she's going for is, "Kids don't think something bad is gonna happen to them, making them wear gloves or similar protection. They think they're _____ [to it]."

That word is not: indestructable (although that seems the closest to her after hearing a whole buttload of choices)
                          immortal
                          invincible
                          impervious (although this one got the most guttural recognition out of her)

And so I turn to youse, oh gods and goddesses of the lingua ingla. What IS it?  It's bugging the crap out of me, too, since I know there's the perfect one and just can't think of it.

No prizes, although I might just throw in yet another Broken download if I feel especially, um,.... what's the word for release?

"Cathartic," yeah, that's the ticket!

immune?

I would've gone with indestructible, myself.

Impervious would've been my runner-up.

Unbreakable? Adamantine? Perdurable? Infrangible?

Invulnerable?

Immune? Impervious? Noncombatants?

Immortal?

My first thought was

Immortal
Invincible
God only wise...

to the tune of St. Denio (#301 in the 1940 Episcopal Hymnal). Than I realized that was not what you were looking for.

Indestructible? Immune?
