BTW, going uphill isn't exactly falling nor in an environment with no air resistance. If two people are running up hill, one with a 100 lb bag and the other with a 10 lb bag, which of the two do you think gravity will have the most effect on, thus working harder and running uphill slower?
But we are no longer talking about gravitational force in this scenario. Now we are talking about strength. If Dwayne Johnson was carrying the 100lb bag, and Peewee Herman the 10lb, Dwayne Johnson would still be at the advantage.

Too serious but..

My hypothetical take on the OP is that it is a natural instinct to respond with caution when there are unknown variables or unexpected changes in the environment.

Notice how some people slow down if they are walking on the sidewalk and pass an ally, or if there is construction. Same thing.

Visibility may be limited up a steep hill, and there is higher probability of loss of control at an incline.

More friggin importantly, why do some drivers attempt to overtake but then just slow down to the speed of the car or truck they are attempting to overtake? Idiots.

People drive slower going uphill for a couple of reasons:
1. the cruise control in their POS can't keep up
2. their right foot can't keep pace in relation to their jaw jacking on the phone
3. "bad" boy has them distracted with his fellatio skills

I am sorry, but the guy makes me laugh. I have no idea why.

We all saw this coming; as the 370Z ages and the prices on used units drop, they become more affordable to the lower class/intelligence segments of society.

You know what I am talking about. Just look at the proliferation of posts such as here in this thread. We are becoming inundated with picnic table-style spoilers, excessive carbon fiber add-ons, "hella-flush" mentality and, more importantly, users who fancy themselves "bad". When one calls one's self bad, one is not.

I weep for our future.
