subject: Non Slip Crutch Tips

I have been using 2 lock joint callipers and elbow crutches since polio 
in 1956.
The trendy architects have been increasingly designing a lot of "ice 
skating rinks" for people to walk on in the foyers of large buildings 
and big shopping centres over the last 15-20 years - making my life 
very difficult. Do you know what I am talking about?
What I am talking about are the highly glazed stone type floors that 
become extremely slippery and dangerous with either dust, or even one 
drop of water.   
// Has anyone found suitable crutch tips that are non slip on such 
surfaces? If so I would love to hear how people manage, and details 
about the tips.
Now we have legislation like the ADA, called the Disability 
Discrimination Act, which enables me to make a complaint about the lack 
of safe access in one of our big shopping centres. But before I do, I 
feel I should check so see if there are non-slip tips
regards
Allan
