What kind of “fall” in the house kills you??

At a friend's Christmas party, one of the guests had too much to drink and fell backwards to the floor. His head just missed the sharp corner of a marble coffee table. The man was ok but it was a matter of maybe 6 inches and the corner of that table would have punched right through his skull and killed him.

Is it would have or could have?

I believe very much it could have.

I’m no doctor so what do I know? :)

I’ve been all up in head injury news since this happened now 13 or so long years ago.

It’s amazing what many have survived...and in some cases surviving wasn’t all that much of a blessing...

I am sorry Dog.

Now that you mention it I have known older people who fell and died in the shower.

It seems like someone so young though..it would be harder.

But not impossible.

I stand corrected.

Again, I lost my pop way back and it’s a painful thing.

I am sorry you lost your father in that way.

I bet he was a great guy and I know you miss him very much.

Great memories are our friend, I’ve found, as I’ve gotten older.

I stand corrected.

:( Be careful!!

The shower does a lot of people in!

I took showers without a floor mat once for a little while...was too lazy to get a new one.

It was like taking a shower on ice.

Here’s a famous example...I vaguely remember this on the news when it happened:

Personal pictures have to be on some website address to be able to post them here on FR. There are picture hosting websites that can work but that is the first step. Sending your photo to someone else here would only work if they can get that photo onto such a website. I’m not an expert and have posted 1 or 2 shots like that but I don’t know how long they are kept on the hosting websites.

I feel down two sets of cement stairs in a Manhattan Subway.

So how old were you when that happened?
