According to Associated Press, an Australian woman has spent four days in a hospital after squatting repeatedly for hours whilst wearing skinny jeans. Ouch.
The 35-year-old reportedly gave herself muscle damage after she helped a friend move house. She said that her legs felt numb throughout the day and when she was walking home she collapsed and could not get up from the ground.
After receiving help, the woman was taken to hospital where medical staff had to cut her out of her jeans.
Dr. Thomas Kimber of the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia told reporters: “I think it’s the non-stretchy nature of jeans that might be the problem.”
He continued by telling the public we should avoid squatting if we plan on wearing denim. But what do you think? Are skinny jeans really a danger to our health?
