1. ive never ever heard of that happening ....either they wer doing it or ther clothes burnt off
2. Have you experienced this phenomenon? Perhaps the sheer velocity of the wind rips the clothing off the victims...otherwise I have no clue.
3. Falling while tumbling from high altitudes allows speeds of 120 mph for a long time which tears clothes off a human.
4. Never heard of that
5. This person's question is valid. This relates to the condition of the bodies that have been found following the crash of Air France Flight 447. Your clothing will get ripped of your body when exposed to 500 plus knot winds. See article below. Sad day in aviation.
6. if it's in water they take them off so they can swim faster and not sink other than that... no clue.
7. Because they were being initiated into the mile high club when everything went into the fan. Maybe they are trying to make some kind of statement - PETA members. Maybe they like skinny dipping. Group of nudists on vacation. .................................... or could it maybe, just probably be that when a body is ejected into a 600 mph windblast that all the clothing is ripped off.
8. velocity rips clothing off or clothing gets burnt off.
