I don't have a good 'down the stairs' story, maybe because I lived in a one story house from birth until age 27? It certianly isn't because I have great balance or flexibility, because I don't. Maybe its because I KNOW I'll get seriously hurt if I do, sheer fear keeps me from falling.
I have, however, been within earshot of a falling piano. It was in high school and the band's piano (a Steinway baby grand, no less) was being moved from the theatre back to the band room. Not moved by people who knew what they were doing, but by the janitors and football jocks (don't ask why). Anyway, they managed to get on the back of an electric flatbed cart. Sure enough, it was WAY overloaded and after hitting a rather large bump the whole thing flipped, tossing the piano forward straight on its legs, which broke under the weight. The sound is exactly as you might expect it to be, except the crunching legs before the 88-key chord.
