If Freddie Freeman Can Slip in the Shower, What About the Rest of Us?
Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman recently had to sit out spring training games — not from a collision at first base or a pulled muscle, but because he slipped in his own shower and aggravated a surgically repaired ankle.
This “freak accident” made headlines, and for good reason: if a world-class athlete can suffer a setback from something as simple as a wet bathroom floor, what about the rest of us?
Why This Matters
Slips and falls are one of the leading causes of injury at home and in commercial spaces. Bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms are especially high-risk due to smooth, wet surfaces that offer little traction.
Whether you're managing a home, a gym, or a large facility, the dangers are real — and preventable.
The Most Common Danger Zones
🏠 At Home
Bathrooms and showers are slippery by nature. One misplaced foot on a wet surface can result in serious injuries — especially for older adults or those with mobility issues.
🏋️♂️ In Locker Rooms
Gyms, athletic centers, and poolside locker rooms are consistently wet and full of foot traffic. Even textured tile can lose grip when moisture builds up. Without proper surface treatment, you’re putting your guests and staff at risk.
Prevention Starts With Proactive Safety
You don’t need to wait for a fall to realize your floor might be unsafe. Here’s what I recommend:
✅ Professional Non-Slip Treatment
Solutions like Sure Step increase traction on wet surfaces without changing their look or feel.✅ Certified Floor Testing
I use ANSI-standard equipment to test your floor’s DCOF (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction) — giving you documentation that proves you’ve taken steps to reduce risk.✅ Eliminate the Need for Mats
Say goodbye to trip-prone mats that shift around and breed bacteria underneath.
A Real Solution for Real Safety
Freddie Freeman may be back on the field, but his accident is a reminder: slips can happen anywhere, to anyone. Your home or facility doesn’t need to be a liability.
I offer free certified floor testing for any project.
