I have violated #3 personally. BEST pratfall of my entire life! I was in a gaming store and, after checking out a shelf adjoining the nearly-empty (one dude with his face in a rulebook) tabletop rpg/card tourney corner. Trip on a chair? No. Trip on a table? No. See, out in the middle of everything is this huge white wood...box...on the floor, built in to cover some kind of piping or wiring. About 18 inches tall, bright white against green linoleum. What do I do? Why, I turn and stride majestically forward!
Only to have the wood shell stop my leading foot cold. I didn't get bloody or anything...but I did fold at the hip and end up with my feet on the floor on one side of the box and my hands on the floor on the other side. Dude with the book didn't even look up, cashier was taking a call, and the only other person anywhere near involved (driver for the trip) was outside having a smoke.
