Ice on ots own is not slippery.
The friction on the ice causes a very thin layer of water to develop on top. This little layer of water laid over the icy surface causes the slipperiness.
The thin layer of water reduces the friction of the surface making it more slippery.
We can lessen the chance's of injury because of slipperiness by using proper amount of salt to sprinkle on ice .
