Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborne-sounds like a trunk falling down a flight of stairs.

Have you ever walked down those stairs?

I've got a lot of stairs in my house! I'm on the sixth floor. I should be fit and have a really nice ass, but I don't.

I jumped up and opened the door and smoke was coming up the stairs, ... We couldn't even come out the door. That's how fast the smoke was coming up.

It's not the stairs so much as we're afraid he might lose his footing and fall and that could do damage that would have to be repaired again.

Stairs are climbed step by step.
