I used to fall a lot and make holes in my jeans. I finally learned how to use my cane Now I walk a lot more than i ever did before I retired but I almost never have a fall. I now have a few pairs of Wal Mart jeans that do not have holes. To any one who falls i would say get a cane and don't go anywhere without it. When I first Started with the cane i used to trip over it and my falling increased a bit. But I have learned how to use it.
