Since 2000, death rates from heart disease and cancer have declined, whereas deaths from accidental falls have increased threefold.

    And they never mentioned the slackening of OSHA standards?

      I doubt that would have a significant impact on the fall statistics, especially as a cause of death.

      Most fall deaths happen to the elderly.
