Yeah, I don't think it was meant as a trap at all.
From what the god said when he pulled them in the first place, they weren't able to deliver them in a better manner due to the rules of the trial. My guess is that the guy who was responsible had just thrown them off the edge of the temple as an easy way to keep anyone from finding them without using special items or favors.

At least that makes it sound less like a stunt meant to get someone killed by happenstance.
[ like these gods were fighting, right? what was stopping them from dropping the knives on someone they didn't like. ]
