Yes, it used to just be slipping and falling, or falling over, now it’s ‘having a fall’ which is mainly associated with the elderly,
Or as another poster says somewhere, what paramedics call a
‘Gransdown’ ?

Hello all,

Is a "a fall" different to falling/slipping over?

I always thought that having "a fall" was associated with elderly people?

Yesterday I slipped on some mud while shifting some heavy bags of slate chippings, landed on my arse bottomblush

Did I fall, or have " a fall* confused
