What safety tips would you have for people forced to use crutches
(Which does not include me at this time)
Storm drain grates are sometimes wide enough to let a crutch tip through.
Crutches slow you up a bit, enough if you're exiting by the rear door of a bus and you are wearing a backpack, the door can close on the backpack and haul you sideways.
Your head at mid-stride will be just a little higher than it was and those lintels you now just clear will now be obstructions.
Anything else?
