I'm 60 years old, mobile and physically healthy. However, I fell in the snow/ice (twice in one day, going to and from work) back in 2021. I had slight concussion the second time.Since then I've really worried about going out in it.
On Boxing Day last week we were at a friend's house and I slipped on their decking and fell down 5 steps, seemingly hitting each one as I went fell. The decking was wet and a sodding death trap. The bruising I had was horrendous and I'm sure I cracked a rib as I'm still in pain when I move and it hurts a little when I breathe in.
I think if you have had a fall in bad weather conditions then you know how easy it is to end up in a right bloody mess.
