Of coz for the above, real life got any real or significant use or not, that i am not sure.
Ultimately any usable benefits would need to be perceived by you the end pax.
But i'd also just share the story here since we are on this topic.
2 days ago Monday, i was with my wife at Farrer to do her IV drug treatment (Rituximab). So hungry liao, she wants that Betagro $3.10 chicken breast. Went down to get. While going back up, i was walking past the glass door of the building to get to the lift lobby (door) located outside the building but my right shoe's toebox area clipped on the glass door.
So i was falling forwards......tried my very best to regain balanace and not fall flat on my face / anterior part.
I took like a good 20m to do that, while trying to run and accelerate fast so that i could shift my COG backwards (like how you'd angle a broomstick forwards as it is falling forwards). While at the same time trying to stand back up so as to shift my COG backwards further. (for sure the split squats , good mornings, whatever motion helps). Did not fall eventually, but when i finally recovered my upright posture, i was running pretty fast (definitely way faster than your typical jogging pace).
tldr - I pok gai lah.
Edit - more like pok dai gai.
I really think the running speed and power (acceleration) + posterior (back) upper body strength really helps in this....say, esp erectus spinae muscles.
Result : Luckily for whatever reason...... i managed not to buang over a good 20m, managed to regain balance by running/accelerating forwards + just standing back up regaining upright position but i needed a good distance.
I dont think any regular sedentary joe in their 50s, 60s would be able to recover. Of coz, in a more serious trip of the foot, nothing would have prevented this fall.
If really "buang", for sure would have some body rash in some parts of the body + significant blue back at the contact points. Cyclists know that too well with slower speed falls of below 20kmh.
It was not a serious trip, but i dont think it was a small one also.
Last time my grandma 80+ years old buanged before and also my father in his 70s also buanged in such a way. Sure blue black one with such speed. If no fracture coz no impacts big enough that is above the bone strength/fracture point, consider heng liao.
