Tim is right(Insert "of course" here.) It's a quick ride; but not nearly a "thrill park" fast-as-all-getout ride. As long as your wrap the strap around your hand and keep the lens secure with the other hand you should have no problems at all. If something bad does happen, ignore this post and refer to the post directly above it. He's in charge here ya know!"Tim" said:hey dr. jim....
no worries at all... there was room for my big old camera bag between my legs and it was held in pretty tightly. i just held onto the camera and wrapped the neck strap around my hand a few times, no problems.
