Thank goodness. It’s crazy how fatal falls can be for old folks. As a tall clumsy person, I think about this more than I should probably.

As a fellow tall clumsy person, low railings at the perfect height to make me fall over them stress me out too.

It's crazy how fatal falls can be for ANYONE. Seriously. I've seen people fall off a 4 foot ladder and have it be fatal. Or slip on ice. Or just trip on something. I'm also a kinda tall clumsy person so I think about this a lot too. Plus I've taken OSHA classes on fall protection which only made it worse. :)
