busted camera

The whole thing doesn't work? or just the LCD. Because most cameras have
a view finder also.

Yeah, if the LCD is broke, you migh be able to replace it for cheap, or
just use the camera's viewfinder...

Up top of a rather high cliff, my friend tossed me my camera, and it
bounced on a few rocks before coming to rest right on the edge of the
cliff...a few dents, but my camera is one tough cookie 😉

You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.

True. But so much for that pocket-sized camera... :p

For years I have carried small cameras in my butt bag (waist pack,
[censored] pack, whatever). So far (knock wood) I have only killed one by
falling on it. I usually don't land on the butt bag in a crash, but it
has happened. Reference this semi-famous example. The moral of the
story is don't glide on unusual surfaces with a camera on your butt:
http://www.unicycling.com/things/index.htm#29
Follow the link there to see Roger Davie's picture of me sitting on my
butt bag. You have to scroll to almost the bottom of his page (I'm
amazed it's still online!). I know it's hard to believe, but at that
time, nobody was gliding on dirt...yet. Times have changed!

Note: I also had my SLR camera around my neck at the time; that's not
the one that got landed on.

Other interesting things to note:
- I was still riding my 24" Miyata at the second MUni Weekend
- The group shot at the bottom of Roger's page. Can anyone name all
those people?

Anyway, my old Olympus XA camera (from the late 70's) was permanently
damaged in that crash. Luckily I was able to find a replacement just
like it at a camera flea market a few weeks later! That one was
replaced in 1999 with my first digital.

Now I remember an earlier incident. In 1983 I was visitng Holland and
staying with the Abrahams family. One day I was out riding in the city
of Utrecht, and just when all these passers-by were paying a lot of
attention to me, I fell spectacularly on some nasty cobblestones. Ouch.
My SLR camera was in a backpack, and got whacked pretty good. It took
me a whole year to nail down the out-of-alignment prism, and months
after that to convince Olympus USA that the camera had a problem. They
finally fixed it...
