The problems of the bath shower combo are not initially obvious due to the fact that this winning combination combines the functionality of the bath tub and the shower cubicle, thus increasing their usefulness by more than double in a stunning display of the dynamic principle of efficiency. It is a good idea not to be distracted by the efficacy of this combination (which by the way is quite intense) but rather to look at its potential flaws and benefits in an objective and unbiased light, regardless of whether or not you own the fixture in question.
Now, the main idea here is that the bath tub and walk-in showers are not mutually exclusive. However the simple fact is that both fixtures have safety issues that are not helped and are in fact merely enhanced when the two are combined. This in itself can be quite problematic if you are not aware of the potential dangers.

You see, the main safety issues of the bath tub stem from the fact that its material is usually enamel coat on a porcelain body, or even worse, metal. Now, both of these materials can be pretty slippery, and most metals used for such a purpose, as well as enamel coated porcelain, are noted for their strength and hardness. It is quite factual that both these materials are harder than a human skull, and worse, can be quite slippery when wet.
However most of the time in a normal bath tub you are not standing up but instead you are reclining. This means that you are not as vulnerable to the risk of slipping and falling. In fact this risk only rears its head when you are entering or exiting the tub.
But in a combination tub and shower, the risk of slipping and falling vastly increase by the simple virtue of you being in a vertical position most of the time! This places you in quite a dangerous situation. It is plain to see that in the tub/shower combo, while functionality has certainly been increased the risks of slipping and cracking your skull are similarly greater.
