if you ran normally then you would fall

of course by instinct you would do more of a jump

You would probably fall if you tried to run normally down a flight of stairs unless they aren't steep. Going fast down stairs is still running downstairs.

Que pasa?

The reason it isn't possible is because you can't fully extend
your legs; you have to do small steps because of the length of the stairs.

On flights of stairs with very long steps (gradual inclines) it's possible.

jumping, while looking retarted, down stairs.

The big problem is if you're running faster than gravity can keep you on the stairs. Think of it like the space shuttle in orbit. It is still falling towards the Earth, but it is moving forward at such a speed that the slope of the Earth is falling away at the same rate the shuttle is falling. See?

If the stairs were short, you'd look like you were just jumping forward off the top and hitting the landing below.

If the stairs were long, you'd still look like you were jumping forward, but you'd hit the stairs hard and likely lose your footing because your forward momentum would carry your center of gravity beyond your ability to balance.
