...according to the study, preventing tumbles could save the U.S. health-care system billions of dollars. More than 15,000 Americans die each year as a result of a fall, but far more - approximately 3 million - are injured. Falls not only cause physical injuries, such as hip fractures and organ damage, but also often lead to patients' loss of independence. And the costs to treat such outcomes add up quickly. Direct costs for medical care related to falls exceed $20 billion annually, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2006.

...that's problematic. One reason companies opt for pay cuts is to preserve worker morale, but that can be a delicate thing. "Initially, this sounds really good to people because we're all chipping in. It's almost like in World War II when housewives bought organ meat instead of steaks and chops to save meat for the boys," says Mitchell Lee Marks, a professor at San Francisco State University's College of Business.
