Human Slipping Experiments

This chapter provides information on the traditional human slipping experiments for assessment of barefoot and footwear slip risk. Most of the past works have studied the slip risks considering human slipping experiments. Some of the studies have considered the detailed analysis of the flooring, age or gender while the others have analysed on the ground reaction forces using several techniques. Also, this chapter deals with the importance of ascertaining the barefoot or footwear-based slip probability and its implication in human safety.
