It is very easy to fall/trip down stairs. The most common ways would be clumsiness, tripping, slipping, missing hand rails, or there might be an interference on the stairs like a cat or dog getting in the way. People carrying things in front of them so they can not see obstacles are more prone to trips and falls. Oftentimes, alcohol or drugs/medications are a factor; and many people who are frail, elderly, or disabled in some way are especially challenged when faced with stairways. They are more likely to lose their balance, and be unable to right themselves if they do. They can also fall with no physical ability to "break" their own fall, or steady themselves to prevent more serious injury.
