    General slip-and-fall doesn’t seem like it would be highly gendered. Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?

      The amount of falls I’m guessing is fairly similar, but older women are a lot more likely to end up in the trauma ward from it. For one there are just more old women than old men in my area and they are far more likely to have osteoporosis.

      I generally see a lot more young men and boys from injuries from the pool. More rough housing, diving, and running around on wet concrete.
