Although not always considered a room, depending on the house, I'd say hallways-that-have-stairs or stairwells.

Then there's the bedroom. I heard of a woman that  slipped on a newspaper on the floor by her bed. Clutter by the bed is bad.

The woman broke her neck (!) and has to be cared for round the clock, and I'm friends with one of the caregivers. After hearing about this, I am carefull now about tidy floors.

Thanks for asking. The three episodes that I just happened to see were about hoarders that were sadly unable to turn their lives around, seemigly beyond help. Found it frustrating & depressing to watch.

Gosh life's so short, we don't need depression-triggers. If I'm going to watch a documentary, give me "Is it me or the dog?" with Victoria, or airport personelle dramas, or The Lion's Den with new budding entrepreneurs,.

True depending how you feel about hoarders, the show didn't rise high on the depression scale for me. But there were a few cases like you said. Its frustrating because the solution is so simple, yet its nearly impossible to change.

Sorry for being wordy here! But Im killing time anyhow.

It depends who you are, where you come from, where you live, how you
live and quite-literally: Your personality. Of course you can
statistically predict or rule the: "5-70 years of age rule" everyone
in-between that are less likely to experience accidents.

I
will tell you a couple of my personal experiences. But
before that, I would agree that the bathroom, hallways, dark areas,
slippery areas, and kitchens would probably amount for most of the
accidents.

Accidents in my personal life would probably be
things like: Stuff being left on the stairs, dogs and animals which you
can trip on, slip on ect. Out of either trying to protect yourself or
just the animal. And
in-turn, you hurt yourself.

OK this last one a lot of people even in
modern society tend to ignore: Mold, gas, and other somewhat unhealthy
environments. Usually that is from neglect of the household like "unsanitary"
habits! They got a pretty strong effect on certain peoples health. Like there
was a tiny bit of mold behind the bed-frame of a family member which had
been experiencing a pretty bad reaction to some small amount of mold by
the window frame. Right behind his pillow. Imagine you are pepper sprayed,
teary eyed, coughing. And that for weeks degraded his health
slowly.

Once he found the issue he could not even clean it
because of how long it had been draining him. He had to ask me to do
it! And I did. But I did not recall feeling anything negative like him. If we had
kept up with the basic/minor cleaning that particular problem would never
have happened. My point is that if you don't know something then it will
have plenty of time to get worse and worse on you or the house.

But even
though all that sounds worrying, most homes are one of the safest places in
life. They really are very suitable to our needs.

But that is only if you can trust the people that are living in your home. And communicate with you, obviously.
