@kaiiak I’m nearly 70 and fell recently on a hiking trail upon tripping, bruising my shoulder and thigh, and possibly breaking a pinkie finger. I hike about 5 miles almost daily and fall once every couple of years. Although this recent fall hurt and shook me up, I would rather risk falling again than wear a tail. I have a walking stick and don’t even carry it because of the inconvenience, but I might reconsider it at some point.
