Abstract: Provided is an anti-slip crutch tip apparatus that includes at least one vent opening, located on the side wall of a generally cylindrical section of a crutch tip body and extending into the tip body, so that the vent opening is surrounded by structure forming a portion of the generally cylindrical section of the tip body The at least one vent opening is in physical communication with a portion of at least one channel formed into a surface contact portion of the tip body, so that an unbroken fissure in the tip body resides as a structural breach extending between the side-wall entrance of the at least one opening and the physically communicative association of the at least one vent opening with the portion of the at least one channel. A corresponding method of preventing slipping of a support device tip is also provided.
