Trips and falls are the leading cause of unintentional death among people age 65 and over (National Safety Council Report, 2005). Last year, there were over 1.8 million emergency room visits for fall injuries for people over age 65. It is estimated that there are over 13 million slip-trip-fall injuries in the United States each year (National Safety Council Report, 2005).

The fastest growing population in the United States are people over the age of 65. That number is expected to double from 35.1 million to 75 million by 2025 (US Census Bureau). This population continues to live longer in their homes which often requires "barrier free" design modification.
