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.
