The Floor Is Lava… and I Still Think About It
What a Childhood Game Taught Us About Real-World Floor Safety
Published by Non-Slip Solutions LLC
When I was seven, I believed two things with absolute certainty:
My living room carpet was molten lava.
I was an elite-level ninja trained to leap from couch to ottoman to coffee table to avoid certain death.
“The Floor Is Lava” wasn’t just a game — it was a survival mission. I can still hear the imaginary soundtrack in my head as I made each dramatic leap, dodging disaster and proving my world-class agility (in socks, no less).
But now, decades later, I’ve realized something kind of unsettling:
The floor is still dangerous…
Just not in the way we imagined.
Slips, Falls, and the Real-Life “Lava”
Every year, over 1 million emergency room visits are caused by slips and falls — many in places we think are safe:
🏠 Our own homes
🏢 Offices and restaurants
🏋️♂️ Gyms and locker rooms
🛁 Even hotel bathrooms
These aren’t stunt falls. They’re everyday moments turned into medical bills, lawsuits, and long recoveries — all because someone stepped on a floor that wasn’t prepared for real-life foot traffic.
And unlike childhood games, no one is laughing.
