little bit of advice

[RoyceNewton]

Move slower and learn to fall. Ask a physiotherapist about this. If you are aware of fall techniques perhaps you can hurt yourself less and even pick yourself up from when you do fall. I know of several overweight much older men that practice these techniques regularly. I mean daily. If it works for older people why not us?

When I fall, I never have time to think how to fall, it’s over and done with before I know it. 😊

[RoyceNewton in reply to jimeka]

learning how to fall safely does actually make you much more aware of what is happening and with practise you can slow it down

[hairbrain4]

I wish I would have known how to fall correctly before I fell & broke my arm! I have had a lot of practice falling, just not the right way.

[RoyceNewton in reply to hairbrain4]

broken arm I remember they hurt best to be avoided glad you made it ok though

[mrsmike9]

When I fall I seem to always break something. Of course I'm 6 feet tall so I have further to fall!

[RoyceNewton in reply to mrsmike9]

well being 6 ft you have a long way to fall

[mrsmike9 in reply to RoyceNewton]

Yup. And it always feels like slow motion. I have time to think, "Oh, this one is going to hurt", and then I hit the ground.

If I know it's coming, I crumple to the ground.I just did that last week and lived to tell the tale with no injuries.

Then there are the surprise falls where one is airborne for a second before face planting.

Those are almost worth feeling like Superman-for that split second.

I try to always look at the bright side of life 🤣

[RoyceNewton in reply to falalalala]

what other way is there to look at things

Falling on an even surface is not as scary as say, falling down the stairs, and that frightens me as there is no good way to fall down those. Sorry Royce, but I disagree with you on this post.

[RoyceNewton in reply to carolek572]

I do not have stairs so sorry no experience

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to RoyceNewton]

I have a stair case that you can have. Want it? Just kidding

[RoyceNewton in reply to carolek572]

actually she who must be obeyed is always wanting to put steps in her one story house

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to RoyceNewton]

Steps to where? In a one story home?

[RoyceNewton in reply to carolek572]

exactly

[Doubled51 in reply to carolek572]

I couldn’t agree with you more carolek572 . I fell 3 times this week and didn’t have time to plan my landing only patch my wounds and thank God I didn’t break anything. Fell twice in 20 mins.

Stairs are why we moved to this house. It has no stairs for me to fall down and I love it. Now if I could only walk on flat ground.😂😂😅🤣
