Guy Experiences A Solid Fall Down Some Slippery Steps On The Thames River

Falls can have disastrous consequences regardless if you’re young or old, everyone is at risk of slipping over in slippery conditions. While young people can break bones taking a tumble, the effects can be life-changing or even fatal for the elderly.

It's estimated that around a third of people over 65 will fall in a year, rising to approximately half of all those aged 80 and over, falls which not only destroy their confidence, increase isolation and reduce independence, but can also have more serious consequences.

One very common result of falls in the elderly is a fractured hip, and sadly the NHS estimates up to one in three people die within 12 months of such an injury, often because of other conditions that set in after the initial fracture.

Although we have no serious case of falling here or rather somewhat of a fail, this guy does seem to meet the stairs from up close and personal once him and his pal decide to go on for a swim at the harbor. Ether way, take a look as this video is bound to make you laugh at least from the way this guy foolishly falls face first and then rolls down the stairs straight into the water.

Enjoy!
