Indeed. It is one of the common reasons for motorcycle accidents in India, I have witnessed a lady riding pillion get her scarf caught on the mirror of the car they were passing, causing her to be pulled off the bike and the driver to fall with the bike immediately after. Had nothing to do with the energy used to move either vehicles, had everything to do with having inappropriate clothing for the occasion.
