I just read somewhere that bathrooms are actually one of the most common places for accidents at home, especially slips and falls. Kinda makes sense with all the water and slippery surfaces, but still surprised me a bit. My grandma had a close call last year, and since then we've put in those grippy mats and a grab bar near the shower. Seems to help, but I'm curious if anyone else has heard interesting facts or has other tips to share?

Yeah, those mats and grab bars definitely help, but honestly, sometimes I think the real culprit is bathroom design itself. Like, who thought shiny tiles were a good idea for wet feet? My dad slipped once stepping out of the shower—thankfully nothing serious—but since then I've been eyeing those textured tiles or even vinyl flooring. Might not look as fancy, but hey, fewer bruises beats aesthetics any day...
