When I place a coin on my forearm, I can tilt my arm to quite a steep angle before the coin begins to slip. Scientifically, this implies that my skin has quite a high COF (coefficient of friction). However, repeating this mini-experiment with different materials will yield different results. Also, what are the contributing factors that make someone's skin more or less "slippery"? (Eg. gender, age, race, weather conditions, body hair??) yours-in-waiting, Edwin
