The National Safety Council identifies falls among the elderly as a large, growing yet under-reported health issue affecting tens of thousands of Americans every day. In 2005, more than 15,800 people 65 years or older died of fall-related injuries. Another 1.8 million were treated in emergency rooms for related nonfatal injuries.
