TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 On Saturday night I was told that more people die each year in trouser related mishaps than in plane crashes. Surely this is a load of bollocks?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogofish Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Difficult to say as the ONS actually stopped issuing those kind of stats a few years back but yes, the last time they did - Trousers did come-out as surprisingly dangerous! Think it was @2000-2002 when they stopped.Think I do remember something about people cooking in their nighties or PJ's being the most lethal of all. About 5 times more likley than smoking.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Did they adjust the figures in accordance with the official Trouser Index of Tightness Scale, which is a sliding scale, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've heard this aswell. It's due to people in a rush to get to work in the morning and they try to put on their trousers at the top of the stairs and tumble to their death.

Alan Cynic Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 It's less common nowadays, but in the 1930s, when young blades wore trousers with massive turn-ups there were a fair amount of deaths when cyclists thought it would be handy to keep their books in their turn-ups. Obviously this caused control problems, and a lot had accidents as a result.At first the police blamed drink, but when they found out the truth it was a real turn-up for the books.Then in the 70s a few folk died horribly of burns when they got their 'flares' confused.

Bigsby Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 As soon as I saw this thread I knew it was fertile ground for a Cynic pun fest.Apparently in France trouser related deaths aren't just restricted to males - they also happen cullotes to women.

Alan Cynic Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think ALL women who wear trousers should be punished by death.....especially if they're wearing stone-washed denims.Jeanocide I'd call it.One for Bob Bouma.....did you hear about the Dutch slideguitarist who tripped over his bell-bottoms and 'broek' his back?

Alan Cynic Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm going to complain to the mods about that statement, Bigsby...it breeches my human rights.What about trouser-related plane crashes? Say they caused the pilot's foot to be stuck on the accelerator, when he should've been braking? Or maybe they caused the instrument panel to shorts circuit?

Bigsby Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I can see how that would cause a real hipster amongst the aviation community.Sorry, I scraped the bell-bottom of the barrel with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sludge Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 What about cocks? Do you think more people die or lose their cocks each year? I personally have nearly lost mine in a trouser related injury. Also you cant exclude vagina injuries too. If you've been round the block a few times surely that leaves you open to mishaps.......
