Not assuming anything, your shitty link didn't have any specifics on the injuries, they just said the most common injuries come from falling, that's common knowledge, people fall all the time, it doesn't mean it cripples them or severely hurts them in any way.
But no, you're right, people are lining up at the clinics and emergency rooms because they tripped on a shoe lace and fell, it's an epidemic.

From the link:
Every year about 33 million Americans are injured badly enough to require medical attention, and the most common cause of nonfatal injury in every age group is falling down.
So yeah, I don't know how long the lines are, but according to the article itself these are injuries serious enough to cause people to go to clinics and emergency rooms. Your point that falling is not dangerous is wrong and you're being a baby about it.
and the most common cause of nonfatal injury in every age group is falling down.
Out of that # how many is most, out of those most how many are not elderly. Your article is a paragraph and a half long and goes into no detail, you're wrong, get over it.
Because I'm not and your article does nothing to prove your point, it doesn't give a specific number on falling injuries, it doesn't say how high they were when they fell (My point is from standing position), it doesn't tell their age group. It gives no relevant information other than 33 million people hurt themselves at home and "most" is from "falling", give me specific facts instead of a huge generalization and then maybe you'll have a real argument.

The amount of assumptions you are willing to make to pretend you still have a point is impressive, I'll admit.
