I was out testing my bike after some suspension mods and had a little off.
Now as many of you will know- we middle aged fellas tend to develop a little muffin top. Nothing too exessive I might add but just a little extra comfort arround the middle.
In their infinate wisdom alpinestars design their enduro pants with a low waist line which sits, as it happens, nicely under the muffin top. Not in itself a problem but-
On the occasional off- particularly given significant forward motion -the friction generated through the jacket on contact with the ground can exert some dragging force to the skin.
This tends to roll the little muffin top over the waistband of the trousers. Once trapped between your waistband and the ground your full bodyweight then falls on the poor little thing.
My goodness...Captain Jean-Luc Picard has never heard of a Flying W! You need an immediate input of the best film ever made....On Any Sunday! No, you can't borrow my copies (see, I've got more than 1)

I once entered an enduro under the name of Harvey Mushman..... got all hanged up in the giggle weeds, did the famous flying "W", got lost and had me a $5000 signal fire, but I came thru grinning from ear to ear........................... "ON ANY SUNDAY"
