Well, Grand Fenwick went to war against the US… and accidentally won.
“Indecent exposure” is highly dependent on exactly how laws are written. In some jurisdictions it’s public lewdness that’s illegal and nudity isn’t considered lewd on it’s own. IIRC in Vermont public nudity is perfectly legal (unless there’s a local ordinance to the contrary), but disrobing in public is illegal (so one would need to undress before going out in public). I believe California doesn’t have a statewide ban on public nudity either. San Francisco at least used to allow it.
Well, that’s a shock! 
Ditto Berkeley.
Topless for all apparently legally in New York City since 1992. You probably still need to wear pants, though.
I can’t think of a single work of fiction in which this happens… can you name several?
They did ban it relatively recently. I guess not that recently anymore, but recent enough that I was living in California when then enacted it. IIRC the city wanted to project a more “family friendly” image.
Not that I have witnessed it myself, but I’ve heard nudity was not uncommon in the annual Bay to Breakers race before the ban. And Marshall’s Beach was known as the city’s unofficial nude beach.
IIRC it’s all of New York state. Women are allowed to be topless anywhere a man would be allowed to be topless.
I remember when that first went into effect the morning DJs on the radio station I listened to were acting like it meant women were going to be sunbathing topless in Central Park every day.
It is still sorta unofficially a clothing optional beach, as it’s federal land and the park service have no regulations banning nudity. But my understanding is nudists aren’t particularly common there anymore.
Otherwise you can apply for permitted nudist events in San Francisco, but I don’t think Bay to Breakers bothers. But I’ve heard a few people usually still race in the buff. I wouldn’t know myself - I always avoided those mass events like they were the plague.
Falling off a roof and being impaled by something. Has never happened to me even once.
It happens all the time in bad future speculative fiction or bad alternative histories.
S. M. Stirlings Draka series is entirely based on a “What if South Africa took on the entire world?” mainly due to the fact they’re able to boss around significantly bigger countries very early on.
The video game Homefront where North Korea forcibly united with South Korea and proceeds to nuke and take over Japan while China and the United States just allow it to happen.
Call of Duty: Ghosts has basically a Venezuelan lead South American coalition drop kinetic warheads on San Diego, Los Angeles, Houston and a bunch of other border cities killing tens of millions of Americans in order to force the United States to end it’s war against them, though the fact the US Military is still fully intact and has their complete nuclear arsenal and the kinetic warheads drops were their one trick pony, doesn’t explain why all of South America isn’t a radioactive crater in response. (This is also where the example of killing diplomats comes from, Venezuela kills a bunch of UN and EU diplomats/negotiatiors who are trying to end the US/SA war, again with no military response)
There’s others but those are the three I was thinking of when writing this.
People falling off you, however …
Which of those are TV or movies?
I’ve always appreciated how the SDMB is constantly pushing the goalposts for no reason in topics.
“give me 27 examples of this trope in fiction”
“now give me 27 examples of this trope appearing in TV or movies despite the fact it’s clear that multiple people have brought up events in books or other media because this is cafe society”
Now someone is going to ask me to name 27 examples of this trope in TV or movies of things they’ve actually seen that have been made between 1987 and 2003.
What is extremely common in TV or movies but almost never happens in real life?
My boldings.
Actually, the thread has been remarkably good about mostly keeping to the stated topic limitations, for a Cafe thread, which is why I’ve enjoyed lurking here. I know Max did ask for examples in “a work of fiction”, so you’re somewhat justified. But I was enjoying the movie visuals discussions, and wanted to object to thread drift.
If it does happen, I’m sure it’s at most only once.
ETA: I hate to be that guy, but I can’t resist: nice username / post combo!
I remember when that went into effect, and a friend said he and some buddies heard there was going to be a big gathering in a park, dozens - maybe hundreds! - of topless women ‘celebrating’ the great victory. His sister was laughing her azz off when she told me he was greatly disappointed to find only a handful of ‘fat hairy mouthy wimmens libbers’ (his words!) making a speech about freedom and oppression. And not a wonderland of hundreds of topless girls displaying their wares… some time much later, there was an article online about a young woman who actually did decide to ‘test’ the law and went out in public in a park, walking around topless, to see what happened. (not all that much, from what I remember.)
Happened to actress Romi Schneider’s son.
Mayo Clinic at one time had a medical display that included a wax dummy of the cross section of the torso of a local farmer who had fallen off of a barn roof. He landed butt first on the handle of a hay rake. The display showed the rake handle running up his anus, past his liver and stomach and barely missing his heart. It was the most talked about item in the display, and also the most painful to imagine happening to you.
Did he survive?
