Honest question, why are you afraid of trying skipping steps on the way down? I ask because I've always done this, and when I'm with company they comment incredulously how quickly I descend the stairs. It never even occurred to me it was difficult or special before.

Perhaps because the penalty for failure rapidly escalates to twisting an ankle and goes up to death, with more likely results of bruises or broken bones?

I've been doing it for a few months too. It was scary at the beginning. The steps at work are pretty high and the first few times I actually had pain in my quads afterwards. It's best to practice on empty stairs with a rail at first.
