My buddy Trevor rode with a crumpler bag all through photo school. One morning he got hit bad on the way to class, he had all his equipment on him. Long story short hes fine now, the drivers insurance covered his hospital bills and to get back on topic none of his stuff had a mark on it... 2 bodies, 3 lenses , 3 flashes. As a bonus he was able to take the bag to their store in NYC and for free they fixed the strap the paramedics had to cut off
