Measuring the force of a collision

By measuring the acceleration (change in speed) parallel to the ice surface, you can estimate the friction coefficient of the ice.

Consumer grade accelerometers are noisy and not very sensitive, so it isn't clear whether you could reliably measure such small accelerations as in gliding over ice.

Certainly, the ones used to measure acceleration during collisions (tens or hundreds times g) will not work for measuring friction coefficients. Let us know what your experiments reveal.
