The coroner's concerns
1. wide and clawed ferrules on folding walking sticks
“Wide and clawed ferrules for walking sticks are widely available. They are described as providing stability, support, improved safety, ease of movement, etc. I am concerned that there is no warning that they may pose a risk if stood on or trapped when used on folding/collapsible walking sticks”
