We’ve all seen a news item on TV or the papers that reads along the lines of; ‘Horror Smash, Two Dead’.
As tragic as vehicle deaths are, more older Australians die from falls than the national road toll across all age groups.
But do you know why you’ll never see a news piece about an ordinary senior citizen who had fallen and later died?
It is because we have been conned into believing that falling is a normal part of ageing, and what’s considered normal, isn’t newsworthy, according to personal emergency response system specialists Mobile Alert.
While falls are the number one reason why seniors are admitted to a hospital, falling is not inevitable.
Of course, accidents can happen to anybody at any time.
But learn how falls are preventable and assess your risk of falling in the e-book Don’t Fall For It.
It is free and available exclusively at mobilealert.com.au.
