Yup, I highsided once wearing jeans and tennis shoes. Jeans got ripped to shreds and both of my shoes flew off from tumbling. Luckily I was wearing a good leather jacket and helmet because I initially landed on my shoulder/face. The force or the impact sufficiently graded the skin off my shoulder through the jacket, But it would have been horrible without it.
I declined an ambulance trip and went home to try to clean the gravel out of my feet/legs, but by the next day I knew I needed medical attention because areas around my abrasions were becoming increasingly red. Got some antibiotics and healed up eventually.
The whole ordeal sucked really bad, but I still ride in jeans, I just try not to crash
