Old People Should Learn to be More Like Skydivers

At least that's what this researcher says. Anyone know if he's a jumper, too?

Now if only we could get more skydivers to PLF when they should.

Actually, this is a great point! I have an older mother who was very steady on her feet until recently, when she started cancer treatment and had surgery. She now wobbles a bit more than she used to but isn't willing to regularly use a cane or a walker. This would be a good suggestion for her, in the event that she has any missteps and wasn't something I had thought about before.

I thought that you were going to say that they should take lots of pills and be generally grumpy

...Damn! Gimme a break. I'm trying, I'm trying!

I got the "old" down pat...I'm still working on the skydiving part.

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
