Pendulum Slip Testing in Sports Stadiums

Perhaps the busiest of all environments, if only for a few hours at a time, stadiums bring together tens of thousands of pedestrians, food and drink, tiered seating and (one would hope!) a distracting environment.  The need for effective risk management in this environment is clear if slips and associated claims are to be minimised.

Why it is important to perform a slip test in stadiums

Stadiums in the UK usually hold thousands of people who move about in close proximity to each other. Slipping and falling can result in many injuries and result in civil or criminal court proceedings. Proper slip risk assessment can prevent slipping and associated lawsuits.
