A funny way to describe when someone falls or has an accident, similar to things that happen in the video game Mario Kart. The phrase is used for moments that are especially entertaining or surprising.
A soccer player jumps to head the ball but lands awkwardly and falls over a teammate, flailing their arms. The funny way they fall makes everyone laugh, so someone might call it a “Mario Kart Down.”
