Gee, Dave! You annd your family really lead a life! This incident and some
of the things that have happened to you are really something.. And pardon,
but I usually laugh thinking of the shocks you would get--(shocks as in
surprises).
You mentioned that a large percentage of accidents happen at home. My late
husband broke his left hip twice, and both times it was at home. Once a
small chair he should not have been sitting on because it was a child's
chair gave way. The other time he was aiming for a chair and somehow missed
it because he had something in his hands. He was accident prone.

You don't have to be visually impaired to have that kind of stuff happen.
When we were building my house, my brother-in-law had a piece of plywood
covering a hole in the loft floor. One of his helpers went around neat
nicking, picking up scrap pieces of wood; when my brother-in-law stepped
backwards, he ended up in the living-room on top of the wood stove
wondering what happened to the plywood he had covering that hole.
