True or False: You can carry a cup of coffee down the stairways.

In a safety context, the assertion is that you cannot carry a cup of coffee down the stairways. This is correct because carrying any hot liquid while navigating stairs poses a significant risk. The potential for spills increases with movement, and a slip or trip on the stairs can lead to serious accidents. When people carry drinks, they may be more distracted, and if they need to use both hands for balance or to hold onto the rail, it complicates the task and increases the likelihood of an incident.

Although using a spill-proof cup or ensuring the stairs are clear could theoretically mitigate some risks, it doesn't eliminate the inherent danger of carrying a hot liquid down stairs. It's a general safety guideline to avoid carrying drinks where slips, trips, and falls can have serious consequences.
