If I fall, I always pause (barring hypothetical situations where I fall in a dangerous place like a house on fire or something) and take stock. What did you hurt? Any broken bones? What caused the fall? Are you still at risk?

Then I take action (like getting up).

People sometimes get scared if they happen to witness because to them it looks like I fell and lost consciousness. But for me it’s the only way to make sure that I don’t hurt myself worse in trying to get up.

Pause. Reflect. Question. Carry on, possibly modified.
