Cancer?

Getting sciencey for a minute here. Tanning beds are UV-A rays only, which is what let's you tan. However it is the UV-B rays that burn you. When you get sun burn it is your body protecting itself from the harmful rays of the sun. Why people willingly choose to destroy their bodies with radiation I do not know.
