I was getting ready to pack it up for the day at my local hill and this happened. Click for larger image
My camera bag swung open and out goes my Tokina 11-16. Nothing else happened or feel out, but the Tokina did split in half and several wires were ripped. Anything I could do about this, other then kick myself and buy another, or claim it on homeowners (I have a $1000 deductible)?

Today when i was getting out my gear to start filming for surfing I accidentally dropped my lens, and watched it tumble down the 20ft cliff. I went and got it, and found there was no major damage, and it still works perfectly. Guess you just got some bad luck
