I’ve been more careful in the shower lately, especially since ours is all stone tile. It’s got good traction, but I keep wondering what happens when people fall in showers–whether it’s usually a traction thing, or whether it’s significantly an orientation thing (due to temperature change, scalp massaging , head angle, etc. affecting blood pressure and equilibrium…).
Every time I saw a roadway accident in bad weather, I thought of it like something that wasn’t going to happen to me, until I had my own moment and realized my traction on fresh rainfall wasn’t what I thought it was.
Showers seem like the next “oh, that can happen to me” thing.
Have eaten absolute shit in the shower. I was young, in shape, just had a moment of complacency and slipped. Other than some bruising and scaring the shit out of me, I was fine thankfully.
My dad felt horrible and immediately bought sticky grip pads for the tub lol.
It can definitely happen to anyone, anytime. Be careful out there, eh

The Problem with slipping is: it first feels somewhat grippy. But when you start to slip it’s suddenly like ice.
