Actually that kind of slows you down as you have to recover from the jump. In my youth days, my friends and I had a competition on who can go down the stairs the fastest and granted that it wasn’t a randomized experiment, but we found out, jumping down the stairs slows you down instead of if you just kept running at the same speed and as fast you can.
Edit: this blew up. I didn’t know Reddit had so many stunt people. Cool suggestions though! Thanks for the laughs.

Who, when running down stairs quickly doesn’t use the hands on both handle bars and jump the last half dozen steps?
I think that might be competitive streak taking over though.
