Climacophilia:

The fetish for FALLING DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS.  I'm not judging anyone for what turns them on.  But this one just seems hard to believe.  I mean the logistics of it alone confuse me.

This is it. This is why I went to college for psychology.

It really makes you wonder what exactly is the attractive aspect of paraphilias like these. Typically, you can tie uncommon paraphilias to something more common and familiar to create a sort of understanding. I spent awhile searching the web for discussions on climacophilia, but unfortunately, didn't come across much at all. The closest I found was individuals saying that they would go out of their way to make themselves fall down the stairs.
I eventually read a fan fiction, which provided a lot of insight. Based on what description they lingered on and the thoughts they voiced through the characters, it's the specific pain that comes with it. It's that sharp pain from the edge of the stairs, but it can be dull from the more blunt impact. I also think it has something to do with the fact that it really covers you head-to-toe in that specific pain. Maybe the dizzy feeling afterwards also plays a role.

Anyways, I could go on for another 10 paragraphs about my theories on this paraphilia, but I'll stop for now.
