Best Answer

Skin slip occurs in dead bodies and is a natural part of the decomposition process.

Over time (from the minute a person dies), their skin begins to loosen. This loosened upper layer of skin will often get large blisters that fill with oedema (edema I guess outside of European English? - basically it's bodily fluids, mostly water). It is called skin slip because even the slightest touch or brush of the skin will cause it to peel right off in large sheets, or "slip" off.
