text: Shitty situations call for violence of action. In laymen’s terms, the shitty the circumstance, the more violent you need to be. Can’t be very violent skidding down your stairs on your belly. Also how accurate can you be? To each their own. Just don’t want to see anyone at a disadvantage if they don’t have to be. You are at a massive disadvantage on your belly on a stair case. There are no tactical advantages in this method. I’ve been through so many seminars, field exercises, and trained in a few different capacities. In any CQB schoolhouse or curriculum I was apart of, we NEVER went down stair on out belly. Also no one, not even the worlds strongest man, is pulling you and your weapon and potentially gear UP a flight of stairs. No footing, no leverage, and imagine 200+ pounds of dead weight, loose and rag doll like, trying to slide up stairs. Just not feasible.
