[MC-51279] Distance Flown going up after running down stairs

In the statistics, my 'Distance Flown' gets higher when I run down stairs.

Steps to Reproduce:
Stand at top of staircase,
Double tap W to sprint down the stairs,
the 'Distance Flown' in the statistics changes the more stairs I run down.

I think this is because you are off the ground for a short time.

I can understand how that could be the problem but it should still be fixed.
I don't think jumping would add to the distance flown statistic and neither should this.
