Most people think of slips, trips, and falls as clumsy accidents. In reality, they’re one of the most serious and overlooked risks we face at home and at work. ⚠️

In this podcast conversation with Christian Harris, our CEO, Thom Disch, pulls back the curtain on the hidden epidemic of falls: why they’re underestimated, what makes them so costly, and the practical steps businesses and families can take to prevent them. ✅

From the psychology of “that won’t happen to me” to the role of technology, culture, and even children’s safety education, Thom shares a lifetime of experience dedicated to keeping people safe.

🏡 Aging in place means more than staying at home — it means staying safe at home. But here’s the truth: falls are the #1 cause of injury-related deaths for adults 65 and older.

The good news? Most falls can be prevented with simple, proven steps:

✅ Install non-slip stair treads
✅ Add grab bars in bathrooms
✅ Improve lighting in hallways and bedrooms

That’s where HandiTreads comes in.
