What is NOT typically considered when investigating falls?

In the context of investigating falls, determining the age of the individual involved is generally not a primary focus. While age can influence the risk of injury and recovery outcomes, investigators primarily concentrate on factors that directly relate to the mechanisms of the fall and its consequences.

Focusing on the height of the fall is crucial as it directly correlates to the potential severity of injuries sustained. The cause of the fall is also central to the investigation, as understanding how an individual fell can provide insights into preventing future incidents. Additionally, multiple impacts during a fall scenario can be critical, especially in understanding the dynamics of the fall and assessing whether the injuries were a result of the fall itself or other contributing factors.

In contrast, while age can inform general assessments of vulnerability and outcomes, it does not typically influence the immediate investigative process aimed at understanding the specific circumstances and factors surrounding the fall.
