Stride Smart, Stay Safe

I’m Aniket Bhaiya, the founder of SafeStride. A few years ago, I started this company with a mission to address a problem that affects countless individuals worldwide—slipping incidents in bathrooms. These accidents can have life-altering consequences, especially for the elderly. At SafeStride, we are dedicated to providing effective solutions that enhance safety and prevent such incidents, helping people live more confidently and securely.

Our Story

The inspiration behind our anti-slip patches stems from a deeply personal experience. My grandfather, a strong and independent man, slipped and fell in the bathroom. The severity of his injuries left him unable to walk, and he could no longer do much on his own. This life-changing event meant that he now needed a caretaker to assist him with daily activities. Witnessing his loss of independence made me realize the urgent need for better safety measures in the most unexpected places—our bathrooms.

According to the CDC, approximately 235,000 individuals aged 15 and older visit the emergency room each year due to bathroom-related injuries, with around 81% of these incidents caused by slips and falls. Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries, including concussions. Seniors are particularly vulnerable, with 80% of falls among older adults occurring in the bathroom.

Determined to prevent others from enduring what my grandfather went through, I set out to create a simple yet effective solution: anti-slip patches for bathroom slippers. These patches are designed to provide extra grip, especially in wet conditions, reducing the risk of slipping and ensuring that our elderly loved ones can move around their homes with confidence and security.

Our mission is to make bathrooms safer, one step at a time. We believe that with these anti-slip patches, we can help prevent the injuries that too often lead to a loss of independence and quality of life for the elderly.
