This is not related to your video but personal experience walking my dog ~5 miles daily on paved/dirt roads and walking around my 40 acres (forests and fields). My falls are almost always due to something that restricts my feet while walking straight forward...my dog may suddenly dart in front, hidden vines in the fields, tree roots across wooded paths, or raised rocks in trails or rocky roads. I have learned:

1. Keep my 75 lb dog on a short leash so he cannot dart in front of me.
2. On rocky trails, watch directly in front while keeping toes up to avoid roots and rocks.
3. In open fields with hidden vines, walk slowly while lifting my feet straight up and down.
4. On long hikes on unfamiliar trails, I use an old ski pole for extra security.

Fortunately I've never broken anything but have learned to stay alert to potential obstacles. I hope what I've learned might help others to avoid the many falls I've had.
