There are plenty of folks out there that wear pumps and are very active. Watch the youtube link in xmenace's post. There are sports harness' you could wear or just disconnect. One of my best buds has beat the living daylights out of his pump and it still works fine. He regularly jumps off cliffs, skydives, bungee jumps the list could go on.

The biggest change for me when I switched: the freedom. I could sleep in and and eat when I was hungry; rather than when my insulin said I had too. The CGMS is pretty cool too though not perfect yet.
