While Trans did touch upon the use of slip, he didn't really find out why or what it means. I don't think slippage fits but slip does.

slippage
resbalón either means slip, or a type of latch, in the KudoZ gloss there are some examples of the usage as slippage, and that seems to be the only sense that fits here since it's singular
I don't know that I understand what this ends up meaning, but I don't see any other uses of the word, it either means the act of slipping or a type of latch as far as I can see, going by KudoZ and the DRAE, I offer:
slippage

: I don't quite think slippage fits this passage well.

I don't exactly think so either, but I am unaware of another meaning of the word that wouldn't need to be plural or in a verb sense. As a singular noun I don't know another use that fits.
