Terry, do you have a link for this? Originally after reading something, I had the same impression. More recently I have the sense that it wasn't so much the thin lining and the risk of puncture but the increasing odds of something else happening healthwise just because you're getting closer to the end......
so that skewed the the risk/benefit ratio.

Colonoscopy:
"There is a small risk of bleeding or of tearing or perforation of the lining of the colon; this risk increases with age, with the presence of other health problems, and when polyps are removed."
