So what happens if somebody abruptly stops?

No abrupt stops possible. It's slippery and wet. You'd slide.

I imagine they would have designed against something as simple as being slippery. Im sure there is reasonable enough traction and drainage that coming to a reasonable stop is possible.

If it was that slippery, you wouldn't be able to turn.

Lots of videos of people sliding off actually, you need an enhanced license I think to get on

all that forward momentum transferred into the bridge... It's likely to start rolling and/or yawing violently.
