Why is slipping on ice so dangerous?

237 views

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?

You’ve genuinely never slipped on ice before, your whole life? You’ll be on your butt faster than your brain can figure out what happened. Get unlucky and you’ll just crack your head on the pavement as you fall.
