Friction resistence?

I dunno. I just have a hard time figuring out how skin can develop such high friction resistence.

And a video, for fun.

I mean, does the skin become... "Sticky?" *Blinks*

Think of it like when spagetti is perfect, and you throw it at the wall, it sticks. Mainly because the wall is dry and the noodle is just wet enough so it sticks to the wall. I'd guess that with metal to skin some sort of similar properties make it so the given metal doesn't just fall to the ground like throwing un cooked noodles at a wall.

It might be the pores on their skin or something to do with the oils in their skin that makes enough friction. But that's just a guess since I've never heard of such a thing.

It may have to do with the molecular state of things. Metal, and most solids, have a tightly packed, uniform structure. Maybe, his skin adheres to this structure by matching it?
