I recall an incident during my college when I tried to walk on an over bridge close to the railway station which was broken at the opposite end. Luckily, someone below shouted on the top of his voice that I would fall 30 or 40 ft below if I proceed further. I heeded to the call just a few steps before the open space. The thought still shudders me.

Although I have bumped in to footpaths, but never in some hole and footpath bumping was also due to the fact that I did not use cane at that time i.e. just after getting down from the bus (It is also a mistake to get down from bus without cane). so anyone who has faced it would you be able to explain why it would happen if you are using the white cane? My thinking is to use long white cane, rather then small once. I have a cane which reaches my sholder when it is straight, so it gives me long reach when I extend it for exploring.
