It's April Falls awareness month and the ACC says it's no joke.
More than 500 falls-related claims are accepted by the organisation every day, from people aged 50 and over.
Nearly 190,000 people in that age group had ACC falls claims accepted last year.
That's 20,000 more than in 2011.
ACC says people aged 85 and over are twice as likely as those aged 50 to 64, to make an ACC claim for a fall.
And they are 15 times more likely to be admitted to hospital as a result.
