Crutches: Slippery When Wet

I could probably write volumes about crutches by now, but when I'm not actually using them (e.g. sitting at my desk in front of my computer) it's hard to remember all the issues. But here's an example from today: when I was showering at the gym this evening, the bottoms of my crutches got a bit wet. However, I didn't even notice until I almost wiped out on the RIDICULOUSLY slippery floor in the main hallway of the Pro Club. I mean, it's like they're TRYING to kill their customers. I've noticed a similar problem when my (running) shoes were wet, but this was worse because a crutch would actually fly out to the side. It actually happened 4 times in a span of about 25 feet of walking? You're probably wondering why I didn't just dry them off after the 1st time, but I DID try after the 2nd... and you try drying the bottom of a crutch in the middle of an open space on one leg.
