Why would someone wear flip flops riding a road bike (motorcycle) instead of something that would protect them from ripping a foot off accidentally? I don't know but I have seen people wear them.

To each his own I suppose but where we hike rocks would be one good reason. I have not seen a pair of sandals that I would care to travel over literally miles of jagged edged rock but I'm not saying they don't exist.

An old saying comes to mind - we can do just about anything we want, but just because we can do it doesn't mean we should. smile
