Bad stage lighting. The step edges are practically invisible under those condition, in that direction of movement. It's a specific issue in theatre, to make sure performer movement areas are not just clear, and not just marked, but also known to the performers. My guess, Castro hadn't rehearsed in the space.

For a "lessons learned" report or safety inspection, I would suggest carpeting stairs or at least the nose of the treads a different color than the main floor. It doesn't even have to be a carpet job, it could be masked and sprayed or overcapped with aluminum edge.
 
Castro was responsible for a lot fewer deaths than any American president of his time. It always amazes me how the citizens of the most aggressive country that has ever existed can gloss over their own crimes while vilifying the leader of a tiny, insignificant nation for his misdeeds.

I understand the American indoctrination system is very powerful but should the contradictions be so blatant on a skeptics forum? That it doesn't result in a level of cognitive dissonance that makes their heads explode is amazing.

On a per capita basis, I am unsure of that. The U.S. was active in Vietnam, and supported a bunch of other wars by proxy. Cuba was active in Angola, and also supported a bunch of other wars by proxy. Cuba was not exactly a passive participant in the Cold War, in addition to whatever misdeeds there were that occurred domestically.

Castro caused the deaths that it was in his power to cause. It seems clear from his policies that if his power had extended over a larger populace, his death toll would have been larger as well.

The model you're looking for is not Abraham Lincoln or George W. Bush. It's Josef Stalin.
