"Life-Changing Hack: How to Walk on Ice Without Slipping"

A TikTok video has gone viral after demonstrating a simple yet effective hack for walking on ice without slipping—wearing socks over shoes. The video shows a man struggling to walk on ice in sneakers, then effortlessly walking on the same icy surface after putting socks over his shoes. This hack has been supported by studies and is attributed to the way ice creates a quasi-liquid layer on its surface, making friction unnecessary. The method has gained attention on social media and has been proven to be a scientifically sound way to prevent slipping on icy surfaces.
