When you are keeping your feet on an accelerating platform, friction between the feet and platform helps you in standing on the platform. The friction force on your feet acts in the direction of motion of the platform and hence you also accelerate with the platform. The maximum friction should be more than or equal to the pseudo force acting on you by the platform. otherwise your acceleration will be less than the platform's acceleration and you might fall or slide backward.
