21. When in space, can we get hurt more easily than when we're on Earth? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

It depends upon the activity or circumstance involved. For example, space is a micro-gravity environment. Getting hurt from falling down is not very likely. However due to the micro-gravity, it is more likely that you will float away and may bump into something than on Earth. Granted, astronauts have training in that environment to maneuver better, and they designed the vehicles to help keep the crew from bumping into things.
