Younger people tend to regain balance before they fall and they may stumble, but not "sprawl".

If you are over 65, no matter how active you are and how young you feel, falling is a serious risk.
Other family members and I tried in vain to help clear out and make safe a loved one's home. A spry, active and healthy woman finally relented but before we could finish the months long job, she fell in her kitchen and died within hours.
Please listen to your children and other loved ones. I know it is a hard pill to swallow, but it is better to re-arrange living quarters or downsize homes than to fall and die or become an invalid due to injury.
