Again, it is risk management.  If you've got balance issues or similar, yes,
you do in fact stop climbing stairs.  For precisely the reason you cite.
You'll find a lot of people as they get older and have these issues move to
single level housing for just that reason.  But again, odds are that a slip
and fall is unlikely to kill you.  The odds are much greater being hit by a
car, and the odds of being hit by a car are much greater while bike riding
in the street than they are while going down your stairs.
