Holiday Decorating Can Lead to Falls, Injuries:

Monday, December 13, 2004
By Miranda Hitti

About 5,800 people spend part of their winter holidays in emergency rooms, tending to fall-related injuries sustained while decorating. So says the CDC, based on data from the 2000-2002 winter holidays.
• According to their estimates, two to three people every hour were treated in emergency rooms for fall-related injuries sustained while decorating during each of the 2000, 2001, and 2002 holiday seasons.
• Most of those spills (62 percent) were taken by people aged 20-49. However, young people usually avoid falls during the rest of the year, accounting for only a third of yearly fall-related injuries.
• Men were 40 percent more likely than women to be injured in holiday decorating falls. For both sexes, fractures were the most common injuries.
• Most injuries (43 percent) happened when people tumbled off ladders while decorating. Fewer people fell off roofs (13 percent), furniture (11 percent), or stairs (3 percent). More people may have been injured but didn’t go to an emergency room.
• That doesn’t make holiday decorating dangerous. Decorating-related injuries represent less than 1 percent of the nearly 2 million injuries from falls that occur each holiday season, says the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
