  CORRECTION:


The strap was the original from Leica who came with the Soft Leather Case, 
the strap slipped out from the little buckle, and when I notice(heard the 
sound) the camera was on the floor, looking to my face and shouting "You 
Bastard, I'm on the floor !!". Lucky my M6 hit the floor on the Handgrip 
side, so nothing happened to the camera(A little miracle).

How did the wrist strap fail?&nbsp; What strap did you have?&nbsp; Some
are better than others, which is the same with neck straps too...&nbsp; I
guarantee you, the one I have could not fail.&nbsp; The camera would come
apart first.<br>
<br>
A wrist strap keeps the camera is the correct place...my right hand,
ready to take a picture...which, I believe, is what I really bought my
Leica for in the first place...<br>
