Pant Burn

A phenomenon that occurs when a member of the opposite sex, or same sex (depending on sexual preference), impresses an individual pant wearer to the extent his or her pants are removed so swiftly, the resulting friction generates enough heat to cause thermal injuries, at times requiring admission into a tertiary burns unit for definitive care. Preventative measures reduce mortality and morbidity and include abstaining from the trigger or avoiding wearing pants. One Norwegian study showed tear away pants markedly reduced friction.
