Yep, give her a cool story + injury.
Another key here: Indefinite time frame. It's not that you don't do the sports anymore, just can't right now.
I would amplify it a bit more like "my best friend died in a paragliding accident, it brings back bad memories". It makes her feel guilty for asking, makes you seem extremely mysterious and puts the power back in your hands even when you say that you are joking.
They usually don't bring it up again either, despite it being a joke.
