As natural born clumsy person I can barely keep myself upright on an average day around London.  I’ve fallen flat on my face in Covent Garden Market, the grocery store, my own stairway, it’s embarrassing.  This game show out of Japan called Slippery stairs is basically what life is like for the clumsy.   A group of people sitting on the sidelines laughing and joking about your misfortune.   Seriously though, this needs to come to North America.  6 contestants line up at the bottom of two flights of stairs made of ice.  Contestants wear latex body suits that are coated in oil, a helmet and use their bare hands and feet to stumble up the steps.   Even if you are nimble, one misstep by your neighbour and you get taken down as well.   How would you fair on a contest like this?
