Ryan asked Stuart Gibbs:

Mr.Gibbs,I know I just asked u a question but I have 1 more.Why did Ben trip over his shoelaces and fall of the balance beam-why did you write that?Just for comedy?

Stuart Gibbs Yes, I would say that any scene that involves someone tripping over their shoelaces and falling is generally done for comedic value.
