Sometimes you need a little help in life. Perhaps you're older, or you broke your leg--either way these walking stick innovations will give you a leg up in a tough situation. Especially now that the roads and sidewalks will become slicker as winter brings snow and ice, it’s important to, first, stay alert, and if that doesn’t work, be prepared.
