Fall in the sitting position can be very dangerous because it can be an injury to the tail bone which is connected to the nerves in the spine.
Tailbone (coccyx) is one of the smallest bone in the body, but can cause excruciating pain and serious health issues when experiencing injuries during falls.
The coccyx is located at the lower end of the spine. Vertebra is usually well protected, but when injured during a fall or other trauma, it can be bruised tail bone or dislocated bones.
Any form of injury to the coccyx can cause a serious problem because there are many nerves and muscles attached to coccyx, as nerves that surrounds the entire spine, pelvic floor muscles, intestinal region, as well as the thighs and upper legs.

Besides falling in sitting position, tail bone injury can also occur due to the following conditions:
