If you are dropped on large friction less surface, how will you come out of it?

Solution

We cannot walk, crawl or swim on a frictionless surface.
To move out of such a surface you have to throw something, for example, a coin in your pocket or the shirt you wear away from you.
The reaction of the throw will move you backwards with a relatively small acceleration.
