A video of a British female bobsleigh rider splitting her pants at the World Championships in Switzerland has become an overnight Internet sensation.

Gillian Cooke’s super-tight split as she bent over just seconds before jumping into the bobsleigh with her team mate Nicola Minichiello.

The official behind her was very aware of what happened. Later footage shows him trying to stifle his giggles as her black G-string is displayed. Hats off to you, mate!

Despite the slip up Gillian and Nicola still manged to finish seventh at the championships which took place in St Moritz, Switzerland over the weekend.
