About 36 million falls are reported in American adults 65 and older each year, and women are reported to fall more often than men, according to the CDC. Plus, at least 300,000 older people are hospitalized for hip fractures, and more than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling, the CDC says. These falls lead to more than 32,000 deaths, meaning a prevention method like VR can potentially be lifesaving.
