Oh great. I've always been afraid I'd do that, and now I know I will.
Sorry....

That really sucks.
Done the same thing, but differently, back in the seventies. I was in the back of the company car, the scribbler was driving to evade, and we were heading for the lab when I managed to lose control of pretty much everything. Nikon 250-exposure back (first use, thus unfamiliar to me), dumped.
We managed to salvage some stuff.
On my MF camera straps I have a 35mm canister with little rubber bands inside it. Useful for many things, including securing the odd roll of 120.
Cheers,
S

Unfortunately I've been fighting a cold for a few days, and today seems to be the worst so far, so my head is kind of in a fog. Usually I am super careful about that kind of thing, I guess I got too confident.

Great...now I have something new to worry about!!!
I just started respooling some 120 to 620 reels so keeping it tight and taped is a big deal right now...

Camera tape stuck somewhere on the camera looks trashy but is very useful - though I wouldn't bother at home, I must admit. It has to be viewed as a "learning experience" I guess :-/

I guess. As I was unloading the camera, I was actually thinking to myself, "Why am I unloading this now? I'm not going to the camera store again today." So now I will leave it in the camera until I take it in, develop it myself, or want to put another roll in the camera.
I actually was able to forget about it for a while (it was pretty upsetting), my wife and I went out to dinner for her birthday and I loaded some Superia 1600 into my Canon A1 and slapped my 50mm 1.4 on the front - currently the fastest glass I own. We went to Morimoto here in Philly, some pretty interesting lighting / design, looking forward to seeing how the pics come out.

You are not Robinson Crusoe there old son. I did exactly the same thing at a wedding shoot, mainly arriving at the church/car shots. Luckly my assistant was covering with 35mm, so not all was lost, but it still hurt.
