The worst is leaves on top of leaves and it gets slimy between them, slick as ice, so be extra careful this fall!
What makes me chuckle about this. I've been on the ground 2x's in the last 10 years. Both times on the big creek greenway. both times within 50 feet of a trailhead. both times it's been a brain fart on wet surfaces and tree stuff. The first time on the decaying remains of pine tree spores, this time on leaves. 1000's of miles on the roads, in traffic etc. Both get off's in the relative safety of a MUP, both self inflicted.
