Good thing most Surefires come with pocket-carry clips.Goodbye Minimag. If it happened today with a $300 Surefire and not a Minimag, hell, I might have dove off the ladder in after it.

I keep most of my flashlights on a shelf above the head of my bed. Many at time I have reached to get one, and ended up having my entire collection land on my face.
...theres a reason why my mag6D is under the pillow and NOT above the bed....

I've had more than one fall out of the aircraft when someone didn't zip his leg pocket and we were flying doors off. Trying to get whatever it was out and *floop* there goes the flashlight.
That's why we carried the $5 drug store mini-mag knockoffs :thumbsup:
hopefully someone didn't get hurt when one of your flashlights descended upon solid ground without the aid of a parachute....although an accidental convert after being knocked silly isn't impossible
buy a metal flashlight next time, let it sit in an autoclave or take a gas welder and put burn marks all over it, then drop it off from the aircraft and see if someone claim on national TV that someone in space lost their flashlight :hahaha:
I lost many many packs of smokes and zippos from my chest plate pocket when looking out and down....but only when I wasn't carrying anymore packs of cigarettes or C-rats. Murphy's Law.
(C-rats had matches and Pall Malls and too often.... wait for it...Ham and Lima Beans! yummmmm)
Old is right!

Nice to met ya!
All the times I checked my lights by looking into the lens and turning it on. Duh! "Guess its working, can someone point me toward the exit?"
A long while ago I got in the habit of pointing a flashlight at my hand and turning it on to see if it worked from the light hitting my hand. Now that I see what some of these thing can do, I'm really glad I've already gotten in that habit :duh2:
