Man saved from fall by the seat of his pants

Thank God for double-stitching

Posted by The News staff at 01:42 PM GMT on Mar 09, 2009

A GEORGIA, US man was wearing his lucky pants when he decided to climb 11 metres up a power pole and slipped. The trousers caught on the metal tower, stopping his fall.

Gwinnett County Fire Department officials believe the 21-year-old man, who was not identified, had been drinking and ignored a companion's calls to stop. 

After his pants caught, the man spent about two hours dangling before a rescue team climbed the tower and got him down.

No charges have yet been filed, reports cbc.com.
