A few years ago I watched a documentary about a crash landing in the midwest. The flight attendant interviewed said her worst injury was due to her nylons...they melted and burned her legs. I don't know about passengers, but I think flight attendants still wear them when they wear skirted uniforms. Synthetic tights would probably be just as bad.
