Stefan has come home from a gruelling day at work. Reason enough to go out for a run. Exhausted but full of endorphins, he gets under the shower after completing his round of sport.
Danger! Slippery surface
Now, all he has to do is brush his teeth before spending a cosy evening in front of the television. But oops – before he knows it, he slips on the wet tiled floor and falls over. Things could have been much worse for Stefan. His fall only resulted in a few bruises. An extremely painful experience, which could have had far worse consequences, as studies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland show. According to these studies, falls at home rank at the very top of the accident statistics.
