שְׁנֵי קַדָּרִין שֶׁהָיוּ מְהַלְּכִין זֶה אַחַר זֶה, וְנִתְקַל הָרִאשׁוֹן וְנָפַל, וְנִתְקַל הַשֵּׁנִי בָּרִאשׁוֹן, הָרִאשׁוֹן חַיָּב בְּנִזְקֵי שֵׁנִי:

If two potters were walking, one behind the other, and the first tripped and fell, and the second tripped over the first, the first is liable for the injury of the second. [This, in an instance where the first could have risen and did not do so, in which instance he is derelict. But if he could not have risen, he is not liable, the ruling being that tripping is not dereliction.]
