“interpersonal responsibility, and the far-reaching imperative to prevent stumbling in in all its forms, a mandate that begins with awareness of how they are all interconnected.”
And physical stumbling can cause physical pain and resultant injuries.
Case in point: someone who fell down icy steps perhaps because of shoes that were slippery or heals that caught on them, and injured his back to the extent of not being able to walk.
This reminds one of the prohibition of “not creating steps to go up to HaShem’s Altar.”
