Tripping, or falling, occurs when a person loses their balance and falls to the ground. This can happen due to various reasons, such as uneven surfaces, obstacles, or slippery conditions. Tripping can lead to injuries, including sprains, fractures, or bruises, depending on the severity of the fall. Preventing trips and falls involves being aware of one's surroundings and taking precautions. Simple measures include keeping walkways clear, using handrails on stairs, and wearing appropriate footwear. Awareness of potential hazards, such as wet floors or loose rugs, can significantly reduce the risk of falling.
