Yes and don't be a wise. Maybe you don't understand. a 600 mm lens has a lot of mass. When Left unattended for less than a half of a minute the wind caught on the lens and somehow twisted it right off the Ball head which is capable of holding over 25lbs. Is also a quality unit both head and tripod are manfroto. Enough with your comments If you have nothing constructive to say be quiet.
Don't get your panties in a wad because you said something stupid. I don't care how expensive or heavy a lens is, it can in no legitimate way be compared to a child. If you consider that comment destructive, so be it.

You could have avoided the venom by simply explaining how the lens became unattached from the head. Certainly everyone here knows that if it was properly locked down only a hurricane force wind would blow it off, and then only if the tripod was cemented into the ground. And you'd have found the lens in the next county!

Exactly right. It was a failure of the user, not the tool. Why get upset for that being pointed out? If the insurance will cover it, good for him and hopefully lesson learned.

Lenny,come-on.Do you actually think what your saying makes sense. Your trying to say that the lens what securely fastened to the tripod(srewed TIGHT) and in the space of 20 seconds tops it unsrewed itself off (the securely fastened tripod ) without the tripod moving or topling over. That means that the camera and lens would have to have done 4 to 6 complete turns .It would have taken a wind strong enough that you wouldn't be out there in the first thing. Maybe you had a small tornado pass by in those 20 seconds.
But I guess that some people also believe that pigs can fly.

I am still trying to understand exactly how the break occurred. Was the QR plate still firmly attached to the lens, or was it still contained the ball mount?

Hey, don't be a hater and a dummy. One will be more than sufficient.

The thing I got out of all this is to make sure the camera quick release plate is securely attached to its mate on the tripod - even if that wasn't the problem in this situation.

Isn't it strange all the details on the camera damage and no details on the condition of the ball head, lens mount plate, etc- was anything bent or forced?

I thought it strange - until I read the OP's replies.
