Staircasing is a trick that lets you land safely by using an object while in midair to lower yourself to the ground like a series of stepping stones.
Explanation and How-to
If you stand on the back edge of a flat object with sufficient surface area while midair, without jumping, the object will slant underneath you and you will begin to fall. However, since the object is slanted you will land on it at regular intervals, therefore slowing lowering you to the ground without damage.
