^This.  Though the determining factor on pain has a lot to do with what caps and if they break.  I stepped on a cap that already had a broken stem, it was thin ABS from an old WYSE board.  It broke into tons of pieces.  Stepping on legos is about 3 orders of magnitude worse.  I think the worst case scenario for stepping on a cap would be a home row cap from OG Cherry PBT due to the sharp corners.  This could be made much worse on carpet that would allow a corner to point straight up.

Neither should be allowed to rest on the floor.
