On a slippery surface, how does walking with smaller steps prevents us from slipping whereas larger steps makes us fall?

The larger the step, the larger these forward and backward forces. Your ordinary shoes on ice can only sustain small forwards and backwards forces before they slip. To avoid slipping, we take smaller steps as smaller step causes more normal force amd thereby more

Dear student 
While we take smaller steps , our feet become straight , so there is more normal force act on feet. 
While we take larger steps , the normal force is no longer normal and itis distributes , 
So their might be chances of falling down , 
Good Luck
