    Precautionary speed-adjustment can be a big help in this situation. Because you're taking the stairs 2-3 steps at a time, you don't need to be moving very fast. Instead, focus on watching the steps and your feet and make the proper adjustments. This, of course, does not apply if you're carrying something. Then you're just doomed.

    I totally did this at work the other night. I was running up the down escalator because I was too lazy to walk around the wall to get to the up one. I started out fine since all the "steps" are evenly spaced during the middle run, but right when I hit the top and the steps all are merged I overstepped and tripped and started falling. I caught myself on the handrails and pulled myself up though.

    I'm not very clumsy.

    EDIT: Wait, you knocked yourself out? Wow.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    I'm pretty clumsy... I'm I've knocked myself out before too. My usual clumsyness like yesterday I poured dilluting juice into my glass and instead of picking it up to put water in it I threw it in the air and it went al over the floor and me. I think my body does things on its own sometimes. I also walk into things all the time, I've walked into a wall and twice into a door and cut my arm on the door handle -__-... I'm usually really bad when it comes to my mobiles, like I accidently dropping them into my tea, the sink full of water or melted them with the hair dryer by accident. xD
