So what exactly is happening when people wear these danger-pants? Apparently the voluminous fabric gets wrapped around itself, as well as the wearer’s ankles and feet, causing them to trip.

Surely that’s always going to be an issue with this kind of very baggy design? That’s what stylist Clare Chambers told the Metro. “The wider the leg, the more likely it is to get caught and wrapped around the opposite leg/foot causing the wearer to trip and fall,” she said.

...get caught and wrapped around the opposite leg/foot...

I see. The tripping issue comes from the interior leg fabric. That makes a little more sense.
