I know that they aren’t really falling down the stairs in the same way that I would, and breaking a bone on every step. Presumably there is a technique for descending the stairs in such a way that it looks like you are falling down them.

Yup. I remember seeing a behind the scenes clip once where the stuntman got a Styrofoam insert on his back under the sweater, as well as pads for knees and elbows. Probably other stuff too that I didn’t see or remember.
In the clip of him actually falling you can see him rolling in a manner that ensures only the padded parts of his body are the ones that hit the stairs particularly hard. His head never touched anything.
