I think some of you worry far too much. I buy good cameras to take out and use -not sit at home all safe & sound on a shelf or tucked away in a cupboard, only coming out for special occasions. And yeah, had a few decent crashes carrying good gear, with no damage to the gear. Carted off to hospital in the ambulance with a broken hip after a head on with a 4WD (driver completely at fault on the wrong side of the road), G9 & a few lenses unscathed. Woke up in hospital on another occasion wondering where the hell am I, and how did I get here? Canon camera body & lenses pretty much unscathed. Me, not so much. Couple of bleeds on the brain, busted collarbone & suspected cracked Pelvis. Used to drag my 6D around with pretty much everywhere. Which kind of got me into m4/3. Small lenses yeah.

my health is more important to me than my gear, but i actually think my gear could hurt me if i fall on my back and its in my backpack. I won't risk that.
