Poor Katy Perry! Sometimes being in the spotlight doesn't work out to your advantage. The "Fireworks" singer mooned an entire water park this weekend -- on accident, mind you. She was climbing out of a pool, and her bikini bottom didn't want to leave. Unfortunately, a keen observer got a few snaps of the action, and now Perry's derriere is all over the interwebs. Happens all the time, right? Well, we asked the public to find out.
The public feels Katy Perry's pain. Though most people probably don't have photographic evidence like Perry, they do admit that bathing suit malfunctions are a common occurrence. Swimsuits are flimsy; water is strong. It's a dangerous combination. Now we have to wonder how long it will be before Rihanna coincidentally follows suit.
Women Are More At-Risk
Bikinis aren't the only swim attire that tends to slip off. Nearly half of male voters (45%) say it's happened to them, too. Gotta make sure those trunks are tied tight! But as you might expect, the gals were far more likely to have experienced a swimsuit malfunction. A two-piece suit means twice the risk.
Middle-Age Miracle
There was actually a very strong correlation in the age breakdown -- some of it you might expect, other bits not so much. Well, to start, the 18-24 group was by far the most likely group to have accidentally slipped out of their swimsuit. Not that many are complaining. But when you start going up in age, the swimsuits become remarkably resilient -- until about 45. After that, swimsuits start falling off again.
Drinkers Don't Have Much Trouble
We wrongly suspected drinkers would have a harder time keeping their private areas private in the pool, but it turns out smokers are the ones having a tough time. They were actually 23% more likely than nonsmokers to have experienced a malfunction, while drinkers were only 7% more likely than nondrinkers.

+6My boobs always pop out at the beach. especially the left one for some reason. The waves always push my top down. :(
Let the women continue to expose themselves whether on accident or not I don't much care as long as I get to leer at their breasts.
I had to realise that a bikini is not ideal for diving. After the event, I smiled about myself and used again a suit for diving.
and the wave rolled me around a few times ~ I'm stll thanking God that when I stood up-right I was facing out toward the ocean and not the beach .. My top had been completely un-tied.
It wasn't pretty. The board stuck a lot sooner than expected, I went upside-down after a faceplate, numerous somersaults, still strapped to the board and promptly removed layers of skin with each hit.
I did make it to the cans,.... 5 out of 6, but was sporting raspberries on forehead, elbows & shoulders. Too bad nobody got it on tape. Yes, the Heineken's came in handy.
I know whatcha mean tho ~ I've done some regrettable stunts too!
Oddly enough, nobody ever got seriously hurt with all the strange water-games we'd come up with. Chicken-fights, double tubing gets interesting. 1 boat, 2 tubes with 100' ropes. Mega collisions.
About 6 families, 4 ski boats and a dozen PWC's.
We all worked in the trades and could get by with doing a 7 day work week followed by a 4 and play-play-play for three days.
Once a year we all made the 10 day Lake Powell trip and rented houseboats.
Nothing cleanses a soul like living on the water for a week.
I prefer the smaller boats (50') to the behemoth, fancy ones that you spend more time being anal about some sand on the floor than kicking back and enjoying the experience.
You know what I mean. Not being so concerned about breaking stuff.
One is more of a 'penthouse' experience and the other is a more rugged aspect. Camping vs RV? Both fun, just different.
Don't pay any attention to the spoiled brat above. He's talking about a custom boat.
