Why do old people fall and then are unable to get up?  I don't see people falling on a regular basis, even at the old folks home.

In my case it's becase if I stumble, I refuse to drop the beer in one hand and the sandwich in the other to stop my fall.   :old: :O

If true, refrain from posting here or you may suffer hemorrhage in germinal matrix, furthermore, in teenagers, reading the O'Club posts may cause globe luxation.

The reason that I disagree with the OP almost without fail is that I usually only post in threads where I disagree with the OP.  Sometimes I do agree, but those posts are in the minority because I spend much of the time that I spend here defending my positions.

I am pretty sure they fall because they cant do the balancing act (position) as good as they used to when they were young.  I am pretty sure that's the #1 cause of broken bones on the elderly.
