So on occasion the plates were wet. When dry they were no problem... just make sure you hit the leading edge square. When wet they were like ice. I would slow down to about 10MPH and hold my course very steady and straight.... I could feel the wheels slipping a bit (especially the front), but I always made it.
This just made me think, why can't they just texturize them?

I fear pinch flats every time I go over a steel plate...they're the perfect shape for inflicting damage!
