As many as one-third of all stair accidents occur on the first or last step, and two-thirds occur on the first or last three steps.
Stair accidents are a common issue, with statistics showing that they frequently occur on the first or last steps of a staircase. Research indicates that nearly one-third of these accidents happen specifically on these critical steps, emphasizing their potential danger. Furthermore, when looking at the first three steps in total, the number rises to two-thirds of all stair-related injuries.
This information highlights the importance of caution when using stairs, particularly at entry and exit points. Understanding where most accidents happen can lead to better safety measures and awareness, ultimately reducing the risk of injuries in homes and public spaces.
