I was playing with grandkids, twirling them around, and my tennis shoes "stuck" on the tile I was on. Totally broke my ankle BIG TIME. While I was on bedrest, I discovered a great site called http://www.mybrokenleg.com/ where I discovered plenty of "company" from toddlers on up to great-grandparents! That's one reason I LOVE cell phones, and required each of my children to get their own (and pay for it), before they were allowed to get their driver's licenses. Needless to say, we set guidelines for its use when in the car. But I wanted to be sure, if they were out and alone, that they could call for help. Of course, if you are knocked unconscious, or suffer from a stroke, heart attack, etc., a cell phone won't do you much http://www.sandwichink.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php#comments-formgood. That's why I highly recommend the use of medical alert jewelry for elderly parents and other senior citizens. Am I correct that your company's products signal a monitoring service if the wearer collapses and can't call? Isn’t that the truth!

Falls can happen at any age. My son had a fall while hiking that took 5 hours in surgery to fix his knee – he is only 15. Falls can happen at any age.
