Elderly people are most at risk
from minor trauma that results in serious spinal cord injury because of
preexisting degenerative vertebral disorders. Males are more prone to spinal
cord injuries than females but not as a result of preexisting disorder. This
may be related to an increased involvement in contact sports or a propensity to
participate in high risk activities. Neither females nor infants are at any
particular risk for spinal cord injuries.

Organisms are well preserved in mud because mud has high water holding capacity. It retains water and does not allow oxygen flow which can destroy the remains of organisms. There are some microbes that preserved whose growth are enhanced in water related environment like mud.
But sand cannot retain or hold water. It drains it off and all oxygen bearing water to flow which enhance decay compared to mud. It can't preserve organisms because of the above reasons.
Answer:
Weight is a measure of gravitational pull.
Weight is a type of force which attracts things towards the center of earth. Weight is measured in Newton. Weight depends on the gravity of earth. Weight changes due to change in height. Value of gravity is higher at the center of earth and six times lower at the moon because of no gravitational force of earth.
