I routinely fall up the stairs so I don’t think this is gonna stick
ALTyeah there are a lot of ways to trip as you're going up stairs making you fall forward thus falling up the stairs
for me it's usually if i'm rushing and don't raise my foot high enough to clear the step above, although i have also had close calls with stepping on baggy pants that i'm wearing as well
My Nanny (maternal grandmother) once fell up the basement stairs and gave herself a concussion with a can of cream corn.
She's my hero

On the bottom of the world it's a constant battle not to fall off into the sky
Funnily enough, the worse injury I ever got going up stairs, I didn’t even fall.
The stairs in my house growing up had these metal strips on the outer edges — they’d probably originally been meant to hold down carpet or linoleum or something, but whatever they’d held was long gone, so we just had these battered, rusting metal strips on the stairs. One of them had a corner that was sticking up, and I managed to hit it just right with the top of my foot… Tore off a strip of skin a centimeter wide, probably half a centimeter deep, and two inches long. This scar is over twenty-five years old… looks as fresh as the one-month old cat scratch next to it.
