Wearing trendy flip flops could kill you, according to new research.The fashionable footwear - ideal for the beach in hot weather - are putting the lives of road users at risk.Three in every four motorists have admitted they find it hard to drive in flip flops and road safety experts have warned that wearing the sandals in the car could be a lethal decision.

Researchers claim a flip flop, worn by millions, can easily get stuck under the pedals and cause a fatal accident, The Sun says.

Craig Martin, spokesman for Norwich Union who carried out the poll, told the newspaper: "Footwear such as flip flops are dangerous as the sole can get caught under a pedal.

"The absence of ankle support can lead to the foot slipping off the pedal altogether."

Leigh Purves, gossip columnist for the Daily Star, is among those to have had a close call while driving with designer flip flops.

She has told how, while travelling on the M1, her sandal got stuck under the brake pedal and she missed another car "by millimetres".

The Sun also says that German researchers revealed last year that 14 out of 25 pairs of flip flops they studied contained toxic chemicals known to lower sperm count in men and attack the liver, kidneys and reproductive organs.

I know!! I also allmost got in to a car accident due to my freaking flip flops. I'm never ever wearing them while driving again!!!

I'll have to have my hubby wear my flip flops, I'm trying to run away from his sperm anyway, so they might help

thats the weirdest condom I've ever heard of

At least it would make me run even faster. Wouldn't that be a sight

possible one of the most surreal comments ever posted here , ever

No it's not, you just don't get it

Cheaper than a vasectomy!

And a lot easier than condoms

Ugh!!Horrid things they are...especially to someone who's got an allergy to rubber!:eek:

In case of youngsters around: Now now, let's not forget how many lives they've saved

Liisi: They're a pain

This is true!

Never, ever,ever, used them





Except when I 'Played away'

So you're talking about flip flops or condom's then, JimD ?

I acan't walk in Flip Flops much to my family's amusement! They just won't stay on my feet!

I don't know what's worse - actually seeing a pair of bleach white feet in a pair of flip-flops or listening to the sound of someone's sweaty feet walking whilst wearing flip-flops.
