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?

Slipping on ice is just as dangerous as falling on a dry surface. When slipping on ice, you tend to lose your center of gravity and are more likely to fall into an awkward position. Sometimes resulting in a head injury. It doesn’t take much force to induce a major head injury which is why you see some people pass away from slipping on ice.
