I think you've got a bit of a logic fail going on there. You're happy to climb to the top of a mountain, then speed down it on your mountain bike over rough terrain, over rocks & jumps & the like, & it's the camera that's going to cause you bodily harm? Really? Just look at that vicious little thing, ready to bust you up.

I happily carry P&S sized gear on risky trails. But i was refering to gear closer to the size of "a Full Frame with a 70-200mm 2.8", that could be a potential risk. I like documenting the sports i do, but i also try to minimize risks where i can. Taking gear along to MTB that alters my center of gravity and could break my back if i fall on it contradicts risk minimization efforts.
