"Out walking, woke up in ICU, forehead contusion with mild concussion, wrists and hands fine."
This is exactly what happened to a good friend of mine (68yo).
Apparently (from eyewitness) she tripped on the sidewalk and went down like a felled tree.
The doc convinced her to stay overnight for observation. She still doesn't remember falling.
I gifted her a nice pair of walking poles, but I think now she's embarrased to use them, because she mostly just walks the halls in her apartment building.
