Charlotte, N.C.--A stunt got lots of people's attention following a nearly naked ride. Timo Johann was one of the 100 people who participated in Charlotte's "No Pants Light Rail Ride." "Have you ever been to summer camp? And you just end up in a dress playing football  or ultimate frisbee? And then the dress, you trip on it, and it tears off, and you're just there, and everyone's like, cool! "It's one of those things. You think it might be a little more awkward but it really helps if you get a whole group of people into it. What's there to bother?" he said.

The riders donated their pants to Warm Charlotte, an organization that helps the homeless."At the core of all humor is an element of discomfort. I think that's what it is.  You are uncomfortable doing something that's a bit outside the box. You can't help but laugh,"
said the event's organizer Trent Corbin.

Easy, breezy, brief overexposure was something two sisters also won't soon forget, "I think everybody should go for it. You only live once. Give it a try. It's a great experience. And you realize sometimes you just don't need pants," they said.

There were no arrests for indecent exposure on Sunday. Since the participants kept their private parts covered, they didn't violate North Carolina Law.
