Out of the box Hold handrail when using stairs
Three years ago, I had a fall on a wet road. I fractured 3 ribs. It was a painful experience which lasted a few weeks. 

A friend, who was 10 years older than me, fell down the stairs and broke a few bones. He took 6 months to recover. He lost a lot of weight and is now quite thin.

I make it a point to hold on the handrail when I use the stairs and escalator. 

I was quite surprised to see other people, including the elderly who walked unsteadily, not hold on to the handrail. 

I wanted to tell them that they would suffer a painful experience, if they should fall. 

I hope to get this message to them.

Vote - should we make it a habit to hold on to the handrail?
