Every one of us has at one point fallen up or down the stairs. If you had this experience as a young child, you might have been fortunate enough to escape with just a lot of crying. However, adults tend to land harder, and the consequences can be much more severe, especially as we age and our bones become less resilient.
I have always been amazed when I watch people walk up and down stairs, because many of us only put a part of our foot on each step. This habit is dangerous, because it increases our risk of missing a step and falling off it entirely.We can learn to walk more safely, by putting our entire foot (as much as possible) on each step.
