Risk of falls

To the Editor: Regarding the excellent review on reducing the risk of injurious falls in older adults,¹ I would like to inquire whether the authors believe that fall-prone patients might benefit by wearing a bicycle helmet during some or all routine activities. Bicycle helmets are comfortable and lightweight, allow air circulation, and are designed to reduce the severity of head injury sustained in a fall or collision.
