From time to time people report that they dropped their cameras, causing damage to the camera or lens. Don't they use neck or wrist straps? Failing to use neck or wrist straps seems to me to be like riding in a car without wearing a seatbelt. What am I missing here?
I also ride a motorcycle, we have a saying that there are two types of motorcyclists; those that have dropped their bike and those that will. I believe this rule also applies to photograph. The more one uses the equipment means the more the equipment is exposed to Murphy. Familiarity does breed contempt. Be safe.
