Recent experimentation with deep, intentional cave-ins has led me to believe that full up/down stairs will resist cave-ins so long as there is more than one floor's worth of them. I will make more notes as I continue experimenting.

Creatures falling through stairs

I've recently encountered a goblin invasion and before closing the main bridge, I've managed to trap one. Now, being an avid reader of the wiki I found this, and, moments later, created a pit that would lead into the 3x1 staircase that I built to access the lower levels.

The staircase is extensive (about 30 levels), so I thought the goblin would become minced meat as soon as he plummeted. I tracked the goblin in order to see the fruition of this plan. However, it would seem as he somehow navigated, unscathed, out of the staircase into a chamber and is now content in searching some exploratory tunnels.
