I would imagine that, if they were being honest, virtually everyone has had an accident of some sort during their lives. I think it's immaterial whether they are continent or not, I think it happens to everyone at sometime or another, maybe urinary or fecal, a major or minor accident happens to everyone.
I agree itās bound to happen at least once due to circumstances out of oneās control. As a decidedly middle-age DL, Iāve had my share. Mostly, they werenāt accidents per say because I was diapered and put myself in a situation where I had no choice to use it, but also there have been a few that were truly unwanted and unplanned, mostly not diapered either.
One that seemed mostly out of my control was in college. I wet myself during a final exam when I couldn't leave without turning it in unfinished and losing points. I didn't just suddenly lose control, but was slowly leaking as I tried to hold it, and my pants were obviously wet when I finished. I managed to hide the wetness as I turned in my exam and slipped out of the lecture hall, but I didn't make it to a bathroom and completely wet my pants outside the building. Fortunately, I was wearing dark shorts and if anyone noticed, I didn't know them, but I was still mortified.
Other times were due to poor choices on my part - once walking home from a BBQ with my son in a stroller and misjudging how rapidly my urgency would grow after drinking entirely too much iced tea on a warm day. I made it to the house, but started to wet as I was unlocking the door and getting him inside. Ironically, the potty training toddler made it with dry pants and I did not. Another time, it took an inordinately long time to get out of a parking lot after a show, and I had skipped a long bathroom line and chosen to wait until we got home to pee. I was barely holding on as I drove, and started slowly wetting a few blocks from home. Fortunately, I had sat on a towel and arrived with damp pants but a dry car seat.
My wife has also dashed in the door desperate to go a few times and made it to the bathroom, but not with her pants totally dry. Similarly, we both have intermittent, mild IBS that is usually well controlled, but have each had an incident of sudden GI distress where we didnāt quite make it. Not embarrassing complete accidents, but enough to need to go home and change.
