And yet it is devastating.

So once you reach the age of 65, which that ain't that far.

I mean, you know 65-year-olds all day long.

That's not a very old person.

Once you reach the age of 65, your mortality from a fall that results in a broken hip or femur is 15% to 30%.

Just think, it's such a staggering number.

So you're over 65, you fall, and that fall results in the break of a femur or hip.

There's a 15% to 30% chance you'll be dead within a year.

It could be something very acute, like the fall that's significant enough to do that also bangs your head.

It could be that you get a fat embolism, you get a blood clot.

It could be that during the recovery process of this, you just never really get better.

You never thrive again.

I think a more disturbing statistic is that of all the people who survive, 50% will never again regain the level of function they had before the injury.

So they will require a cane for the rest of their life or something like that.

Now, there are lots of things that account for that.

Andy Galpin, who you mentioned a moment ago, talks a lot about this, but a lot of it comes down to foot explosiveness, power.

So the reason you're not really afraid of falling, like when was the last time you were walking and your foot caught something and you slipped?

Like yesterday?

Yeah, quite often.

Yeah, exactly.
