A lot of people ask that question, but people usually fall while going up the stairs rather then going down the stairs mainly because they do not lift their leg up high enough.

Is it possible to fall up stairs?

Yes, it is. When people trip on a step while going up, that is called 'falling up'.People often misjudge the amount of steps in a staircase. Since most don't look down, they trip over their feet.Agreed, it *is* possible to fall while going up the stairs...I just want to clarify the terminology :)Unless it's a part of speech that i never learned, I have never used the term "falling up".Whenever I(or anyone else that I have ever known, for that matter) have tripped or fallen while going uphill or upstairs, I've always only ever heard the term:"I fell down going up(the stairs/hill, etc)"or "I fell going up", or something to that extentI have *never* heard anyone use the term "falling up" or the phrase "I fell up" or "I fell up the stairs"(but again, that might be just me )In this light, i believe "falling" is the act of succumbing to the force of Gravity, which in almost all cases means "falling down"(not "falling up", which would be floating).i have fallen up stairs many times so yes you can fall up stairs
