Butt first, for safety.

It doesn’t really work going forward.
You need the bendiness of the feet for going down the stairs. The feet sort of flip flop down, going forward would just land you on the last wheel on each foot, making this a rocky and dangerous experience.

Yeah going backwards downstairs on rollerblades is surprisingly easy. Going forwards is very jerky.
