If you have a fall you need to take a minute at least or 2 to get your bearings and figure out if you are ok. (unless you are in an unsafe situation)

Having the strength to get up on to your own feet is imperative. If you can’t ….or feel uncomfortable trying to do so call 911!! People might want to help but not know the impact of your fall. You may have a fracture or something more severe that could be worsened from inexperienced assistance. Even though it is the Canadian way, to always help ((-:

In my classes I discuss how to get up from a fall. Over the Christmas Holidays I have had 2 testimonials from falls of being able to get on their feet and get help and EMS was very impressed..
