S1: People fall down from staircases in different ways in different countries. S6: This is because for the Americans, their home is usually the only place where they regularly use the stairs. P: They rely, instead, on the ease and safety of lifts and escalators which are ubiquitous in such places. Q: This is not because the Japanese are more reckless staircase users, but simply because Americans don't much use the stairs in public places. R: Staircase injuries, therefore, happen mostly in the home. S: For instance, someone in Japan is far more likely to be hurt in a staircase fall in an office, department store or railway station than is anyone in the United States.
