Is it possible to fall up stairs?

Answer 1

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 extent

I 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

Answer 2

It is possible to fall anywhere on purpose, if you have enough strength of purpose. However, it is not a good idea to do that.
