I have it on good authority this guy did.

No deaths or injuries, but an semi-amusing tale nonetheless. First pin I ever bought was a pretty nice BTTF. Of course, if I would have known anything about great playing games I would have never bought this one (but it looked nifty). The guy I bought it from was very cool, helped me get it packed right and loaded into my truck. Got home and called a buddy to help me get this down the stairs. We each take a side (instead of an end) and maneuver the pin thru the front door, made a slight jog and came to a long set of steep carpeted stairs. My buddy was out of gas at this point and groaned that we had to set the machine down and rest--now! So we set it down at the top of the stairs and straightened up to take a breather. As soon as we let go the machine tilted over and went racing down the stairs head first--picking up speed as it went. I figured it would take the whole wall down once it hit, but noticed I had fortuitously left the downstairs door wide open (which I never do). Much to our amazement, the BTTF zipped down the stairs well above the posted speed limit and blew right thru the door opening, just barely touching one of the jambs enough to slow it down and stopped about 3/4 of the way through. Since the opening was only about a 1/2" bigger than the width of the machine, I was very impressed. Other than a shed small splinter of wood and a little paint transfer, BTTF was none the worse for wear.

Although I've been tempted to try this maneuver again, I've always used the outside route since the lucky slide.
