'Falls are the leading cause of injury and death in the aging population, with one out of four older adults falling each year in the US, resulting in more than 800,000 emergency department visits. One in five falls result in serious injuries such as broken hips or other bone fractures, or head trauma.'
Our Joe could lead the way in preventing these tragedies by making helmets fashionable. Maybe an Executive Order mandating the wearing of helmets by All Medicare beneficiaries.
