How many falls are intentional?
The study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the first comprehensive national look at the role brain injuries play in fatal elderly falls. It examined 16,000 deaths in 2005 that listed UNINTENTIONAL falls as an underlying cause of death.

I used to think that too....but after seeing my best friends mother lately...I think she would. I seriously do...It would keep getting her a lot of attention.
