@emaureen As a gardener, I am a very deliberate foot-lifter because there are so many tripping hazards. But, I was paying more attention to the pond I was working on than what was at my feet, and actually caught the hose with my lifted foot. Fortunately, no harm was done.

For the record, I have always been one who cannot walk and sip at the same time - even as a hiker, biker & runner for many years, I either used a hydration backpack with a sipper hose, or stopped to sip.
