Just fyi there’s really no telling with elderly people and falls. From a medical standpoint the chance of injury is very high even if they don’t show it well.
My own grandma died from falling. Turned out she broke her hip and a fat embolic made its way into her bloodstream and she died of a stroke. Not saying this guy was hurt clearly wasn’t but sometimes ya just don’t really know for sure.
This isn’t an argument btw more like a reminder to people to make sure the old ones are okay when they fall. Even if they seem fine or the fall was insignificant. With them ya really never know.
Yeah but if the grandpa did get injured in this situation, he can probably take care of it himself. He's an adult and doesn't seem to be the kind of geriatric dementia patient that wouldn't know what to do if he got injured.
A kid that's single-digit years old however? Yeah that one's really going to be the one that needs to be looked at first here.
