Whilst climbing in Cwm Idwal I carefully placed my camera into its pouch on the left side of my harness, only to realise as it bounced down 300 ft of rockface that the pouch was on the right - on the left was the open pocket of my cag!
I now secure my camera to a long piece of cord permenantly clipped on to the harness - at least then if gravity takes over, it should survive with mininal dammage.
Other mishaps include flooding my rucksac, with the camera inside it, by carelessly leaving the top open in the rain, freezing the shutter shut leaving the camera outside my tent overnight and destroying the focus mechanism of my bigma with windblown sand.
