From now in I'll have multiple straps looped around my neck and waist, and toss pillows on the ground all around me just in case the straps fail.
Straps DO fail.
I was carrying three Mac mini's, my main RAID HD and my Archive HD in a holdall, just about to go downstairs, when the strap of the holdall gave way and the bag dropped like a stone onto the top step.
I have some foam in the bottom of the bag and each computer was wrapped with a towel, but it still landed with a thump from about three feet.
It was with some trepidation that I started the computers up, everything was OK but it could have been a different story.
The strap gave no warning, I hadn't noticed any fraying, I have done the same thing a dozen times before? Just one more of those things I guess.
