Crown copyright 2003 Broad Lane, Sheffield. S3 7HQ trip Feasibility Study Report Number HSL/ 2006 /77 Project Leader: Dr. Marianne Loo-Morrey Author(s): Dr. Marianne Loo-Morrey, Miss Sarah Jeffries Science Group: Human Factors Group iTrip Feasibility Study Executive Summary A review of the literature showed that trips account for between 25 and 33% of all reported slip, trip and falls accidents each year, which corresponds to between 8000, and 12,000 accidents a year based on HSE RIDDOR statistics. Research into the biomechanics of trips has shown that a trip results in a forwards fall with a frontal impact when no attempts at recovery are made. Three strategies for recovering from trips have been identified from the literature lowering, elevating and reaching. Studies of induced trips have shown that there is a critical body orientation beyond which it is impossible to initiate a successful recovery attempt.
