Falling is often unexpected and can result in injury, but experts emphasize that being aware of your surroundings can help reduce the risk. Changes in familiar environments, such as a repaved parking lot or rearranged furniture at work, may increase the chance of falling.
While preventing falls is ideal, it is not always possible. To minimize harm when a fall does occur, safety professionals recommend following specific steps to cushion the impact.
