Welcome @safetyshield. Interestingly there have been a couple of threads started recently on Connect about falling without reason. You may wish to read and post on them here:

I'd also like to connect you to other members talking about living with spina bifida. Please meet @glades2 @jimmie1a @cooper2. I'm curious. How is it that you can control the rate of how fast you fall?

I use crutches and wear braces and when I am falling by instinct the crutches are in front of me so I push down on the crutches it does not of course stop me from falling but it does control the rate of speed that I am falling. Is works on ice or on any surface.

Of course! You must be pretty handy with your crutches.
I encourage you to join the conversation here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/falling/ @trouble43443 @oceanfun1 @trainwreck54 may have some thoughts about your falling.
