Young people are more likely to fall while texting and walking, new study says
"On any day, it seems as many as 80% of people, both younger and older, may be head down and texting," he said.
For instance, the students were asked to walk across a tiled hazard walkway at the Neuroscience Research Australia’s gait lab — it had one hidden tile that could slide out of place, potentially. If the students were to walk on that tile, they could slip and fall down. After analyzing the angle at which the participants were walking, the authors found the students more likely to fall if they were also texting."Such different approaches reinforce how no two people are the same."
The study proved that people were more likely to slip when they were texting than when they were just walking without texting.
