I have too twice. First as a kid in a lake (before I knew how to swim) my shorts got caught on a large branch and I was pulled back. 2nd as a older kid they got stuck to a pool vent. By then I could swim so I just took them off and went to the surface...

An incident I described on rere much more recent would have been much worse had I'd been wearing shorts
