  Some real TIL gems in this thread.

  I know 2 people that both had an accident this way. One tore of a tendon around the knee, the other fractured their hand from trying to cushion their fall. And I don’t know that many people.

    Yeah, people don't realize you can add non-slip materials to the bottom to minimize the risk.

      Ugh, if only that worked for longer than like a month.

      Eventually all these materials you can throw under throw rugs to make them stickier end up failing. Catastrophically.

      Make sure to get a throw rug that has the non-slip feature sewn in. Make sure it’s nice and heavy too and never put it in the dryer (it’ll ruin the non-slip part). You should probably air dry throw rugs anyway, actually 🤷

    The rug threw you. That’s why they’re called that!
