Just an idea a friend had and it seems to work great, while cleaning out
his garage he found an old piece of crazy carpet his kids had discarded.

That sounds easy enough to try...not sure the why that would work? Does it
have to be thick or thin carpet?

IIRC Crazy Carpet was a trade name for a kids toy made out of a slick
plastic. Basically just a sheet of slippery plastic with a handgrip at
the front you could hold onto to keep from sliding off. A commercial
version of the old flattened cardboard box kids have slid down hills
with for generations.

Uncle used to slide on an old license plate until grandmother found
out why his pants wore out so quickly!
