Tripping on a stone is your own stupidity...

Not really. Inattentiveness isn't Stupidity. Also, I'm Christian, so, don't worry about it.

Inattentiveness on a battlefield? Yes, that is stupidity. Wearing a full set of heavy plate armor, and you trip and fall? You will never get off the ground! Even if you stay miraculously alive! You would be pinned down by your own armor! Sooner or later, an enemy would find you on the ground, and slit your throaght. All the while thinking, "What a moron..." So clumsiness is stupidity if it costs you your life. Well-made plate isn't heavy enough to pin you to the ground. Mostly because the really heavy armor was developed AFTER the introduction of black powder weapons. Before that, it was merely enough metal to stop an edged weapon. It doesn't take much steel to stop your standard sword. And even when it was that heavy it was used almost exclusively from horseback.
