"My view on this is very simple. People need to have some common sense and they need to be responsible for their own safety. So if you trip or you fall, you have to ask yourself why it happened, and more often than not the answer is because of your own carelessness.

It later transpired that she had run a 10km race three weeks after the incident, despite claiming in court documents that she could not run at all for three months.
