Be prepared for an unavoidable fall
Nothing can fully prevent you from having an accidental fall. It is vital that you are prepared for the event and practice what to do if it happens. This will help you to prevent injuries and overcome the fear of falling.
If you have fallen, it is very important to stay calm and focus on either trying to get help or getting up. Try not to panic! The way you react can cause more injuries that the fall itself. For example, getting up too quickly or in the wrong position can make the injury worse.
Tell you doctor if you have fallen; especially if you could not get up from the floor on your own.
