Lid down so the flush spray is mostly contained is enough reason, no?

We never have that problem in our household. 🤷

We have a toilet that flushes in the front to the back in a jet, there's never any splash.

Where the falling in problem tends to reoccur, if not prevented.

Flushing a toilet, yes, as far as I'm aware, any toilet, regardless of the design, creates an aerosolized mist containing small particles of fecal matter. So, every time you flush a toilet with the lid open, you are covering your bathroom and everything in it in a microscopic layer of shit... enjoy brushing your teeth later.

Actually our bathroom sink is outside of the bathroom toilet, with a door seperating them. 🤷

It's less about the splash and more about the microscopic sprays of faecal bacteria. You don't want that E. Coli on your toothbrush.
