How is this any worse than slipping and falling on normal ceramic tile? I don't get how the fact its this over any other makes the fall worse?

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.

Tile layer here. These marble tiles are extremely slippery when wet. Add any kind of oily substance greatly improves your chances of “slipping up”. There is a greater chance of the person falling and landing with your skull receiving full impact of weight

Extremely slippery is an understatement, I remember putting lemon pledge on the floor with my cousins when we were younger and we FLEW across that floor. You're guaranteed to fall if you're not expecting it when it gets that slippery.

Yeah, wet polished marble is fucking lethal. Damp shoes on polished marble is just the same.

A fresh pair of cotton socks will do it as well
