I, too, have what I refer to as "The Ferret Luge" going down my staircase. When we lived in FL I was in a one-story apartment but now I live in a townhome in WA with three flights of stairs - much to the ferrets' delight. I keep my tube in place by pinching it behind a tower of XBox games and the entertainment center. It's been in place like that for well over a year and hasn't come loose - no matter how much traffic gets backed up in the Luge! Here's a few clips.
