Film uses fast-moving sequence of falls, trips, and slips to emphasize importance of avoiding falls which rank second only to vehicle accidents as source of fatalities and disabling injuries. Includes enactments of variety of factors involved in falls: objects on floors and stairs, slippery and irregular surfaces, caryring objects, running, over-reaching, improvisations, platforms, ladders, etc. This 1960s film remains topical because of its utilization of a single actor who simulates a wide range of trips, slips, and falls indoors, and who is dressed in jumpsuit-type work clothes which do not date the film.
