Skating rinks have smooth ice. What if there's bumpy frozen slush like there
now in 80% of the back roads in the Northeast? Sliding won't be an issue
where damage to the tire/gear may be a consideration.

That would be sort of like trying to carry a sheet of plywood across and
outdoor
skating rink. The least little gust, and you're sailing away. Keep the
flaps up.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually
said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."
