"Researchers who study the biomechanics of aging, for instance, note that push-ups can provide the strength and muscle memory to reach out and break a fall. When people fall forward, they typically reach out to catch themselves, ending in a move that mimics the push-up. The hands hit the ground, the wrists and arms absorb much of the impact, and the elbows bend slightly to reduce the force.

so much for that theory~
that is only “theorhetically.” correct, but unfortunate no pushup's here? 
I have known two woman that landed on their faces - no push-up reaction - just a broken cheek bone and and leg on one poor dear -
and a broken cheek bone and a broken hip -

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
