Domestic accidents often cause more damage than road accidents. Seemingly harmless behaviors are dangerous. A tragic example illustrates these dangers: a 29-year-old young man died while trying to retrieve his kitten from the roof of his Parisian building.
This drama reminds us of the importance of vigilance, even for mundane actions such as retrieving an object or taking a photo in a risky place.
- Climb your home via the balcony;
- Take a selfie in a dangerous place;
- Smoking in bed.
Are domestic accidents recurrent?
Yes, domestic accidents cause more damage than road accidents! We take care to avoid:
- Recharge your cell phone in the bath;
- Leaning over the balcony;
- Handle a light bulb without tripping;
- Reply to a text message, or read your social networks, on the stairs.
