A life jacket won’t prevent you from falling into the water. But it will help protect you from drowning.
Similarly, our SAF-T VEST won’t prevent older adults from falling. But it will help protect them from serious injury.

We concur with former U.S. Senate Majority Leader @bfrist--falls among older adults are a growing public health crisis. That's why @SafSystems is focused on fall injury protection. #SAFTVEST #walkwithconfidence #aging #wearabletech #startups #crowdfunding
#Falling incidents are an #epidemic that few – even among those in the #healthcare sector – are paying attention to. If you or your parents are over 55, you are going to fall. It happened to me. It happened to my wife, Tracy. Here's what you must know:
