Some of the common (almost universal) symptoms of old age are brittle bones, thin fragile skin, and organs that are easily traumatized.
Any kind of fall, blow, accident, etc could be a serious injury to an elderly person, when the average 7-year old with the same fall would hardly slow down.

I dont know what it is, i think that just because a kid falls down they got a little strength on them and they just think that they just going to cry but they really need attention, too u know, and then if a old person falls their fragile and all and i admit that they are more fragile than kids but i think that every one should just get cared for equally, because u know if a old person fall alot of people is going to go run over there and a heart beat and leave the poor little except for his mommy

I think it's because of that Medic Alert commercial when that lady was like "I've fallen and I can't get up!". Then old people falling became funny...unless you know the old person that has fallen. Then you try to hold back your laugh until you make sure they're ok. Then you go into a different room and laugh with the other people at the family reunion.

Young people have softer bones. Like babies and little kids while older people have brittle bones. Plus I think when a younger person falls you know it is just one in many they can look forward to in life while with the old you know their @zz has hit the ground enough times already.

because a young person falling is an opportunity to learn from a mistake. an old person falling is a lawsuit/funeral waiting to happen.

An older person has weaker bones and is in more danger of seriously injuring themselves

Because old people aren't as likely to recover as quickly as young people.
