So many times I've had a number of breaks in each of my big toes from my younger days of being in too much of a hurry. So NOW I have horrible arthritis in both feet from my clumsy youth.

Our house has only 2 steps stair and its wide so I normally do not fall. But when I was a kid, when going upstairs I trip and my whole body would land on the floor. I couldn't stand up by myself I felt like my whole body is numb. Then I got older, because we had only 2 steps in our house. I used to trip all the time in my husband's house when going upstairs. They have 3 floors. Maybe I need some more practice when going upstairs in their house. Happy mylotting!

I've fallen going up stairs a hand full of times. I have big feet and my feet just don't fit on stairs very well so when I start to go up stairs it kind of trips me up sometimes. I haven't fallen down stairs in several years but I'm sure I've tripped going up stairs sometime recently.

I haven't counted how many times I have sliiped on the stairs while going up and bumping my shins OUCH. Then I have also experienced going down the stairs and slipped and went sliding down with my butt went thumping down from the highest step to the bottom steps. UGH

Almost all the times I fall on stairs, it's while going up. I have large feet (size 13), so they usually trip over the next step. A curse indeed. I've only fell down a few times, but I would manage to catch myself after only slipping a few steps.
