According to NSFI, more than eight million ER visits annually are the result of some type of fall—slip and falls account for about 12 percent of that total. The elderly are at a particular risk for a slip and fall injury, with as many as one in three of those over the age of 65 suffering a slip and fall. The Arbill website states that more than one million Americans will suffer a slip, trip and fall injury each and every year, and that nearly a third of those who suffer a slip and fall will suffer a moderate to severe injury. Slip and fall injuries make up about one-fifth of all job-related injuries, resulting in an average of 11 days away from work.
