Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults ages 65 and older, and the fall death rate is increasing. [CDC]

I see a few options open to us when we reach 65:

  1. Avoid all stairs
  2. Stay seated at all times
  3. Wear a fat suit to cushion any fall
  4. If you're already fat, carry on about your day and enjoy peace of mind should you fall
  5. Live in a pool
  6. Adopt a Hutt lifestyle
