E17: Better winter boots

from Engineering Health · host Tilak Dutta

We're about to get hit with some winter weather including freezing rain that could dramatically raise the risk of falls. Buying the right footwear may be able to reduce the risk of falls by 60 to 80%. The problem is it is difficult to determine how well a given pair of boots will perform on ice just by looking at them. We've developed an objective test at Kite to measure slip resistance on ice. This video from a similar presentation shows some of the visuals: https://youtu.be/yZWBdgPdWj4.
