Banana Peels: Sinister Slipsters or Misunderstood Myth?

If you take your standard Websters dictionary and look up "The thing that is most likely to make someone slip and fall if they step on it", you will find a picture of a--you guessed it--a banana peel. But honestly, in the history of mankind, has anyone ever slipped and fallen because they stepped on a banana peel?

I've played MarioKart (and would love to again some time)! But I think slipping on banana peels is something that only ever happens in video games, cartoons, plays, etc... never in real life. I challenge Brett to give a plausible situation in which someone might slip on a banana peel.
