Sadly,slips/slides from chairs/wheelchairs are never addressed as a major concern in the "fall" category.
Did you know that sliding down/out from chairs and wheelchairs is a leading cause falls in elders and other susceptible people. Typically, sliding falls are caused by persons with leg weakness and other neurological disorders that interfere with proper seating and/or environmental conditions (sliding off vinyl or plastic coated seats).
