Report: Wis. one of worst states for falls by people over 65

Could this have something to do with being number one on the list of states with the most DWIs?

I've fallen and I can't reach my drink.

Phase 1 of my plot to destroy Wisconson!

Outstanding! Just out@#$%^g-standing!LMAO!

And how much money did the Federal Government pay this Independant Organization to do such a stupid study. Probably more people over 65 alive in Wi.

Aw dang it, I dropped my cheese!

Unnnhhhh....thud..Ow!

Article says this was performed by an independent organization, not the federal govt. But, no reasons as to why was given. Would have been good to evaluate the risk factors, as well as prevention.

Of course, I also automatically linked it to the DUI thing too. LOL

Wisconsin? Beer? Falling down? DWIs? They all must be connected. I was thinking the same thing. You beat me to the punch.

Next they'll be a max. age limit on drinking of 65.

LOL

Please move to Oklahoma, the least educated state, because you have fallen and cracked you head.

NSC is a business run organization. They are talking about percentages so total number matters very little.

There is a chapter office in St. Paul which is probably why it got in the paper.

Wow, sweet! A topic we all agree on!

Jerry: Aw cripes, Ma...I fell again. Jeez, do ya think ya could help me up.
His Wife: You've been drinking again, haven't you?
Jerry: What makes you say that?
His Wife: The bar called - you left your wheelchair there again.

When the list of most worthless studies is compiled, this will certainly be on it. There is an unholy alliance with authors of frivolous studies and the MSM. Guaranteed 15 minutes of fame, unless your study favors a conservative issue.

Do you even understand the purpose of the study?

Your real name is not Harry Dunne, per chance because you post like he would.

Is this supossed to be bad? What are seniors good for anyways? They are horrible drivers and the suck this county dry with their social security. My opinion, Wisconsin is doing this country a favor by having these death traps for the old geezers!
