転ばぬ先の杖
先週、私の知人（８９歳）が歩行中に、つまづいて転倒し、目と鼻と腕に大怪我をした。先々週には８１歳の別の知人が自転車に乗っていて転倒し、その日の古武道の稽古を休んだが、３週間は休まなければならないそうだ。私の父は７６歳のとき自転車に乗っていて、お茶屋の前で転倒して起き上がることができなかったが、幸いお茶屋の奥さんが父を助け起こした怪我と聞いている。今、私は７６歳。他人ごとではない。転倒しないように注意しなければならない。しかし、どうしたら危険を避けられるのか。
Look Before You Leap
One of my friends aged 89 tripped and fell to the ground while walking and injured his eye, nose, and arm, and was hospitalized last week. In the previous week, another friend my mine aged 81, I guess, fell while he was riding a bicycle, and so, he was absent from the martial art training class. He said he would be absent from the class for three more weeks.
My father also fell while riding a bicycle at the age of 76 in front of a tea shop and injured. Fortunately, the tea shop owner helped him to stand up.
Now I am 76 years old and under these circumstances, I will have to be very careful not to fall. But how could I prevent such a danger?
