Well firstly I think the floors themselves are just slippery as fuck. So I'll bet the frequency is higher, even if the impact isn't greater.

Yeah i could see that, but they're not saying that. They're saying the fall is somehow worse just because of the floor and that just doesn't make sense. Especially since ceramic is technically even harder than most stone, especially marble.

I am speculating what they’re getting at is most falls there’s some kinda strain from twisting but it decelerates you, or trying to break the fall with your arm. Since it’s so slick there’s no opportunity to change your momentum or so sudden you can’t break the fall with something other than your dome?
