OK How did you fry your first camera(film or digital)

I flipped a motorcycle at around 70 mph. My Minolta SRT101 was in a bag on the back of the bike. After the bike landed I discovered the camera under the motorcycle. The slide on the asphalt had ground through the edge of front element of the Rokkor 50mm lens. The camera still worked and the lens still focussed!!! I survived too.
