Don't forget the whole idea of this thread was to share real accidents for the sake of prevention. The assumption is that you honestly did not want it to happen.

Some scientific geek type could do wind tests on various kilt types but it still wouldn't allow for gusts. Like I said in my example, I'm a bit more used to this and wear a heavy kilt, and I still was surprised.

So, watch for grates and the funnel effect.
