Random question; you read the title, the thinnest you can get. *beavis and butthead laugh*

I would find a local metal supplier and get a quote. Find someone who works with rolled sheet metal in bulk maybe.

Stainless or just mild steel?

We got a sheet for our kitchen backsplash from a place that made commercial counters for restaurant kitchens.

Don't forget to put in a floor drain and some type of catch basin for the internal organs.

And I would suggest a corrugated pattern for traction.

I was just being theoretical, but yes, I hear sheet metal floors do well to protect you from alien mind probing.

You'll need to get some MIT students to conduct a test (http://berkeley.intel-research.net/arahimi/helmet/) on that.

Lol. In the conclusion, "It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings."

Around $18.00 for a 4'x10' sheet of 26 ga. galvanized.
