opening case

From another thread:

"> What part of clarinet playing isn't problematic? =)

I think, opening the case."

That made me smile, but also I recalled a recent incident where I forgot to latch my case. I've seen other people forget and spill their instruments to the floor, but this was a first for me.

The case was on a patio table, and distracted from my normal procedure by something, I gathered my things and picked the case up by the handle. The cover opened and both my R13s tumbled out onto the table top. The lower joint of the Bb actually proceeded over the edge onto the concrete below, landing on the ringed end, fortunately. No damage, except to part of my poor mind! Horrors!

So in a sense even the opening of the case, if you include both boundaries of the operation, can in light of human frailty be problematic.

Anyone else ever done this?
