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.

There’s a lot of overlap with tumbling but with the added twist of making the maneuvers look accidental. Some of it is misdirection, making it look, for example, like you are falling on your butt while sneakily breaking your fall with your hands. It takes a lot of practice to do it safely and it’s still somewhat risky even if you’re skilled in it (because ultimately a lot of it is actually falling and then catching yourself safely), which is why stunt doubles are frequently employed.
Come to think of it, the way people fall down the stairs dramatically in movies look the same to me. I mean how they roll on the upper part of their backs without letting their heads hit anything and not trying to stop with their hands, because that’ll lead to injury.
Kind of like how people fall in Jūdō, but down the stairs continuously.
Continuous fall is my new band’s name
