 Platform Shoes Claim Another Life | | By: Mark | Published: 01/03/2000 | | |  |

At least they weren't puking on each other!
TOKYO (Reuters) - The platform shoes which have become de
rigueur for trendy young Japanese women claimed a second victim
this week when the driver of a car was unable to hit the brakes
because she was wearing a pair.
Japanese media said a passenger died in a car crash on Monday
after the 25-year-old female office worker driving it could not
brake because her 8-cm (three-inch) heels got in the way.
Earlier this year, a 25-year-old nursery-school teacher was
found dead in her car after reportedly suffering a skull
fracture after toppling over in her five-inch platform sandals
earlier in the day.
The platform shoes -- often worn by artificially tanned teens
sporting dyed silver-blonde hair, skimpy skirts and glittery eye
shadow -- have been popular for a couple of years.
But with the soles of some shoes and boots reaching as high as
30 cm (12 inches), health experts have been warning against the
possibility of painful injuries to ankles, feet and backs.
