I tried searching for an answer on Google, but the results were full of advertisements for injury lawyers.
I guess I don’t quite comprehend how it can be so dangerous. I know lots of people end up having to go to the hospital after slipping and falling on ice, and some even die. But like—how much force can there be if you were just walking?
I’ve fallen while riding a bike / rollerblading, going much faster than walking speed. I got some scrapes and bruises but didn’t need medical help. Why is ice so dangerous?

It is how fast you fall and that you usually fall backwards so it is hard to catch yourself. Further most people wear protection when doing sports but not walking. Further old people tend not to do sports where falling is a concern. An old person with poor balance can easily fall back on ice and crack their skull.
