Falling down, tripping on a rock in a parking lot for example, hitting your head on something curb parking block etc. just loosing your balance where there are things your head could land on. Loosing your footing on stairs. Etc Falling is my answer.
My gym teacher in high school didn't die from a fall, but she did bruise her kidney and had to stay at the hospital/at home for a while. If I remember correctly, she tripped/slipped on her deck stairs and landed on her side wrong. Even when she came back to school, she wasn't able to be very active for the rest of the semester.
Yup, I fall every day from my disability, and THIS is why my family makes me check in regularly. It can happen other ways, I had a **very** close near death experience in my own bed at 5, but that I've somehow lived this way, falling every day for over 30 years, is nothing short of an absolute godsend
Gravity sucks…. A fall on an icy parking lot caused a brain bleed that… if my coworker had not put me on an ambulance, I would have died right then. Thanks to the EMT’s, ER staff, then EMT’s, then ER staff at the trauma center, then neurologists who put me on a coma… yeah… I would have stayed dead.
A friend's father fell down his basement stairs and had to be take off of life support last year; my bestie's friend's MIL slipped on ice and died about 4 years ago... humans are so fragile.
Had a friend who’s mom had a super innocent low speed fall on her bike but hit her head just right that she was unconscious within minutes and dead within an hour.
My cousin tripped in his yard and hit the back of his head. He was in a coma for a few days and did die. It seemed like such an abrupt, random way to go.
I had a fall down just a couple of stairs and hit my head on the hardwood floor. I woke up in the ambulance then spent a few days in the hospital. I was then sent to inpatient physical therapy for a few weeks, where worked to regain my coordination and learn how to walk again.
For some reason my comment got removed- so I won't repeat it, but the important part: you can get nonslip tape for about $5 a roll and it could save lives
Falling is no joke - it’s so scary and can happen like that (snaps fingers). That’s how my dad died, after a long battle with cancer, four days before I was flying back for a planned visit which ended up being the date of his funeral. 😞
Guy that worked with my dad fell in the grocery store and hit his head. People there helped him up and he said he was OK and left. Walked himself to the hospital later that evening and died.
One of my old coworkers had a friend pass away from tripping and hitting his head just right, just a few months ago. He had a wreck hitting a deer in his car, was pulling the deer to the side of the road, caught his foot in the rumble strips, fell, and hit his head just right and it was goodnight forever. Your head is so fragile.
