The decrease in the ability of the aging body to respond to baroreflexive stimuli can result in very serious consequences for elderly patients [115-117]. Because of this decrease in sensitivity and the decreased cardiac output witnessed in elderly patients, they are predisposed to the effects of orthostatic hypotension that can occur when one is taking antihypertensive medication (e.g., prazosin). Indeed, the fact that elderly persons are prone to accidental falls may be due to this change in sensitivity [115-117]. 

A gas cylinder contains 50 lb of propane. The cylinder accidentally falls over and ruptures, vaporizing the entire contents of the cylinder. The cloud is ignited and an explosion occurs. Determine the overpressure from this explosion 100 ft away. What type of damage is expected ...

Direct damage to properties, and a hazard to health if wide enough for humans to accidentally fall into hunting zone (Slracher et al. 2002 Thomas 2002)... 

Vertebrate bone deposits accumulate in West Indian caves through several distinct processes. Most commonly, rich deposits of small vertebrates accumulate below owl roosts. These deposits are readily recognized by their lack of vertebrates with living body masses greater than 1-2 kgs, and by their high proportion of bird remains. Vertebrates also accumulate in caves through accidental falls into pits. These deposits over-represent larger vertebrates, and are deficient in birds and small reptiles. 

Generally, in the previously described heated sample holders, few attempts were made to control the atmosphere surrounding the sample as it was heated. A cover plate of Pyrex glass or quartz was employed but its main purpose was to prevent the sample from accidentally falling into the integrating sphere of the spectroreflectometer. In order to control the sample atmosphere, the sample holder shown in Figure 9.3 was constructed by Wendlandt and Dosch (16). 

Immediately clean up spills on the floor and keep all walkways clear of objects, such as backpacks, to prevent accidental falls or tripping. Report any accident, injury, incorrect procedure, or damaged equipment to your teacher. 

Ease and safety during operation and maintenance, proper supports and staircases, work platforms, shadowless lighting, railings around the reactors, and process vessels to prevent accidental fall inside the vessel—all such steps improve the confidence and motivate the working persons for paying more attention to the operations. 

Slips and falls may appear to be simple trivial accidents, but they result in thousands of deaths and cost billions of dollars in direct and indirect cost [59]. According to statistics compiled by the National Safety Council, falls are the second leading cause of accidental deaths. Over 40% of the dollars spent on workers compensation in the U.S. food service industry are due to the results of slips and falls. Annual expense from slips and falls is about 12,000 per restaurant for an average of 3-4 accidents per year. In 1988, for example, more than 12,000 people died from accidental falls. In public areas such as hotels, motels, and restaurants, slips and falls occur more frequently than any other accidents. Slips and falls can result in serious injuries, especially to the head and back. The floor surface is the single most important factor contributing to slips and falls. The slip-fall relationship between the floor snrface and the floor coating is also an important consideration, as it relates to liability and worker s compensation, especially in the fast food industry, where a floor can be wet or greasy. 

Manufacturers also require that workers not work at a level where the point of snaphook attachment to the body harness is above the device because this will increase the free fall distance and the deceleration distance and will cause higher forces on the body in the event of an accidental fall. 

Ladder Safety Device Any device, other than a cage or well, designed to eliminate or reduce the possibility of accidental falls and which may incorporate such features as life belts, friction brakes, and sliding attachments. 

After accidental fall of rock, earth or any material. 

The duty to inspect and prepare a report only applies to excavations which need to be supported to prevent accidental fall of material. Only persons with a recognized and relevant competence should carry out the inspection and write the report. Inspections should take place at the following timing and frequency ... 

The cell uses these sulfur molecules to mop up stray electrons, and sulfur is such a good mop that the cell can send waves of electrons around as a signal. If a stray electron accidentally falls off a transfer molecule, a sulfur atom from glutathione or metallothionein will scoop it up. This sulfur-based cleanup system is even more important than we thought for decades, scientists missed seeing sulfur-rich bubbles inside yeast cells that store glutathione for a rainy (or electron-rich) day.
