No idea what parachute pants were....

They weren't too different from like warmup pants today - but flashier material, a little tighter, and they had lots of random zippers on them (not even with pockets inside if I remember right). For about one year, they were the shit.

You could get whiplash just from clenching your butt cheeks.

On the plus side, if there was an emergency and you had to jump out of a plane, you were prepared. Everyone knows if you are jumping out of a plane in jeans, you have only about a 15% chance to live.

Parachute pants are sometimes mistakenly confused with "hammer pants." Note, they are not even close to the same thing...

Al Iafrate... what a character. You've got to wonder what kind of numbers and career he would have had if he wasn't busy smoking Marlboros in the locker room and chasing tail until 3:00AM every night before games.

Much like the Weber-Chara discussion, Iafrate had the hardest slapshot in the NHL, but Big Mac had the harder in game slapper. Still, you couldn't pay me to jump in front of an Iafrate one timer.
