stacked it

Fell down hard

Stacked it is British and Australian slang for falling over or crashing, especially in an ungainly way: I stacked it on my bike coming down the hill.

The phrase typically describes sudden, clumsy falls rather than graceful tumbles.

It can also mean failing spectacularly at something.
