We're mainly just glad that it was, James!

It's the sort of thing that happens so easily when a lot of gear is scattered around on a busy day.

The truly positive aspect of this is that your having documented this misadventure may well have enabled others to avoid similar pain and angst.

Think of your time and trouble as having planted a big red flag over the ongoing need for rigorous discipline, even (or especially) at day's end, when we just want to pack, load and escape to the bar ...where some of us might (just possibly) become loaded in an entirely different way.
