Falling for Safety

There’s a decent chance you’ve read an article or two about how to avoid falling. There are different strategies for falling as safely as possible, depending on whether you’re falling forward, backward, or sideways. Once you realize a fall is unavoidable, don’t try to stop it; that’s how you break bones. Tuck your chin to your chest if you’re falling backward. Use whatever available means to assist you; don’t try to stand straight up.
