71. Curbs while wearing a mask can be tricky, too.

Anyone wearing a mask (young or old) should exercise some caution when stepping up or over a curb or trying to navigate stairs. That mask cuts off just enough of your vision to obscure uneven or elevated terrain. I’m surprised it has not come up more often as an excuse to not wear a mask, by the folks who are anti-maskers.
