DULUTH, Ga. - Authorities say a Georgia man was saved by his pants when he decided to climb 11 metres up a power pole and slipped. The pants luckily caught on the metal tower, stopping his fall.

Gwinnett County Fire Department officials believe the 21-year-old man from Duluth, Ga., had been drinking and ignored a companion's suggestion he had climbed far enough up the pole.

Add this one to the list of 'stupidity'?
Actually theres a reason for everything, so there probably was good reason (karmas way) he was 'saved' by that slip?
