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 wearing appropriate footwear, keeping walkways clear of obstacles, and using handrails on stairs. Awareness of potential hazards can significantly reduce the risk of tripping and falling in everyday situations.
