Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death, non-fatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma among older adults. Every year, one out of every three adults age 65 and older experience a fall. Research shows that by the year 2020, the annual direct and indirect cost of fall injuries is expected to reach $54.9 billion.

Encouraging Helmet Use
Helmets provide the best protection against injury when riding a bike or scooter. Wearing a helmet can prevent about 85 percent of head injuries when there is a crash, but a helmet will only protect when it fits well. Through the Injury Prevention Center, we teach the importance of wearing a helmet and how to adjust it to fit properly. 

The UMass Memorial Medical Center - Child Passenger Safety Program educates parents and caregivers on the proper use of a car seat as well as the use of seatbelts and avoidance of driving distractions.
