No, stalactites are typically brittle and fragile, formed by the accumulation of mineral deposits dripping from the ceiling of caves. Walking on a stalactite can cause it to break or collapse, posing a safety risk. It is not recommended to walk on stalactites.

Can a stalactite become a stalagmite?

No, a stalactite may not become a stalagmite in any meaningful sense. Calcite-- the mineral both stalactites and stalagmites are made from-- is not flexible or sticky enough to survive a fall and adhere to the ground more or less intact. However, a stalactite may break and fall to the ground, becoming the foundation for a new stalagmite if there is calcite laden water dripping on the point where the stalactite rests. Given enough time, if a stalactite does not break, it will "grow" into its corresponding stalagmite, creating a column. they can become a combination of the two though https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150590970190519&set=a.10150590967785519.435379.639145518&type=3&theater
