Well, you can trip while going up the stairs, but you probably are not propelled up the stairs, but rather flat on your face. Enertia would not keep you going in the same direction because what ever it was that you tripped on, the obstruction, would redirect the energy in a different direction.

I don't have to try it to know it's true! I see it everytime Bush is on tv walking up the stairs into Air Force 1!

Yep, I have done it a few times in my life and it can hurt just as much as if you fell down the stairs.

Yes you can. If you put your foot up and it gets caught on the front of the step you will trip.

I have done this. I am not ashamed. You sort of go up a tiny bit and then stop.
