Application: Casual

"Casual time" should be just that; relaxing and healthy. And for most, that is the case. But, according to CDC statistics (2000), while we we're taking it easy, some 13.4 million of us suffered injuries from falls. The resulting medical expenses incurred were a staggering $24.8 billion.

For older folks (65+) the numbers got higher with 1.6 million fall injuries in 2007. Fully 57% of them were due to slipping, tripping or stumbling. Of those, 54% occurred on "floors or level ground". Level perhaps. but safe? Obviously not. Clearly we shouldn't take casual lightly.

KickSpike Traction Technology, developed to give golfers the extra grip they need to make those winning shots on the wet, slippery grass of the golf course, is perfectly suited to giving recreational and outdoor users enhanced grip in all kinds of terrains.

With 23% of older people's falls happening outside the house, during recreation or even yard work, KickSpike's instantly available added traction could not only prevent unnecessary injury, but also save thousands of dollars in medical costs.

With KickSpike Traction Technology at the ready, recreational users can get back to relaxing and enjoying the outdoors.
