Tipping and falling are the most common accidents of wheelchair users.  For example, you can fall from making your wheelchair go to fast, unlocked brakes, slippery surfaces, the sitting stability of the user and hitting a large bump with one wheel causing the wheelchair to become unbalanced. 

Common injuries include soft tissue and nerve damage, sprains, abrasions and contusions. The most frequently injuries parts involve the shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, and wrist.
