Where can you buy padded pants so seniors don't break a hip when falling on the ice?

Risk with falls: Prevent the fall first. Do physical therapy to lessen likelihood of falls. This includes balance training and building up leg muscles. Have your house checked for fall risks including throw rugs and bathroom risks. Improve lighting. Get good shoes. Padding your hips will not protect your head or spine. Hip fractures often occur from twisting and not direct trauma anyway.

Seniors should not : be walking on ice period. So prevention is foremost. Falling is usually forward on the knees or backwards on the butt. Safety knee pads are used by construction workers. Thermo skiwear is padded, as is layers of Depends, thermo underwear, sweaters, coats that can help protect in a fall. Osteoporosis makes any falls lethal! Most people can't walk on ice. No such pants prevent hip fractures.

Prevention: Prevent the fall by staying off the ice. But if not possible, try a suit like the one in the picture. That should help.

Walking on Ice: Good day; AS a senior in NYC and Eastern Long Island; I keep a collapsible cane with me at all times. When I encounter any uneven terrain out comes the cane. I don't fall!!!

Not helpful: They actually did do a study where they went onto nursing homes and applied "cushioned" pants to high risk patients and found they did not reduce the risk of hip fracture in the elderly.

Not sure: but a medical supply store or an extended type pharmacy. I believe the evidence for those type of garments is not the best. There are always hockey pants.
