I once was gettting off of my horse and just hopped off facing forward, at 
the same time as the horse swung his head around to see what I was doing.  
By one of those bizarre quirks of fate that seems to rule my life, I ended 
up hung by my crotch from my horse's curb chain for what seemed like a 
really really long time until my tights finally ripped and I fell to the 
ground in a heap with a gaping hole in the crotch of my tights.  Turns out 
that the electrical tape I was carrying for emergencies does not hold cloth 
closed.  I now carry an emergency roll of duct tape in my saddle bages.
