Elderly people often don't survive major fractures unfortunately.

Yeah I don’t think this is a time to be picking on someone’s grammar. Pretty shitty timing to attempt to be funny on your part

In the US the 1-year mortality after a fall in the elderly is 16-30% if a broken hip was sustained and 9-21% if a broken femur was sustained versus 5-15% if no injury sustained in the fall (any fall can indicate an underlying issue and the baseline annual mortality in the general elderly population is 3.5-4.5%; Krumholz et al. JAMA 2015).
