My grandma fell and she was never independent again. Granted she lived alone and was on the ground for 8+ hours before someone found her and she was diabetic so she was in a near coma from low blood sugar. I could believe it in the right circumstances.

Note: all we know is she fell probably first thing in the morning, leaving the bathroom. She left her life alert dongle on the bedside table, so that was super helpful. It wasn’t until that evening, when no one could get a hold of her, that a relative went by and found her. She spent 3+ weeks in the hospital and several more weeks in a rehab facility. APS would not release her until she had assisted living lined up.

Yep. This is not limited to travel, but everything in the service industry.
