shattering the glass he was carrying in his left pants pocket. Unexpected.

Yes, that is not a “freak accident”, that is just another case of people doing dumb things and encountering predictable results.

Well, a glass in your pants is an obviously bad idea, but cutting the artery wasn’t a guaranteed result, even if the glass broke.

An empty glass that had had beer in it... or once broken it no longer held the beer...

Wow, okay, I'm not carrying empty glasses of beer in my pocket anymore... ummm, WAIT!... I never do that anyway... Besides, I'm trying to imagine exactly how I would have to fall and land in order to break a glass that did happen to be in my pocket, such that the glass shards could be driven deep into my leg or abdomen and sever my femoral vein/artery. The only thing I can come up with is if I took a flyin' swandive out of a second story window and landed on rocks below. Just sayin'. The cops might want to look at this cockamamie story very, very closely.
To: GSWarrior
Are you hppy to see me or is that a glass of beer you have in your pocket?
Rolled up newspaper or a banana would have been a better idea.

Maybe a rushed machine-aided translation of the Brazilian Portuguese. The Portuguese term for a “beer glass” is the same that would be used for “glass of beer.”

Note to self: Never put a beer glass in your pocket.

Might be credible depending on how the shards formed — a stab in the groin could result just by falling on one’s face, especially if already over-beered and klutzy.
If dancing with a beer glass in one’s pocket is a Brazilian custom, they ought to consider switching to Lexan.

Another “custom” - idiots dancing with drink in their hand.
Spilling drinks on compadres and floor.

Perhaps they carry it so that they can “drink” to a particularly winsome dance partner right on the spot? (Then what goes in the other pocket, a beer bottle?)

If they’re rednecks, the bride’s cousin invited as a guest to the wedding already married her there and then.
