OK fine, stripper boy.

To bring this back to a more serious note, I took two hard falls on Saturday, both resulting in my loaded Omega contacting the ground with a lot of force. The gun didn't fire either time.

I think there is more room for "operator error" when using a gun with a hammer (including your standard SA or SA/DA revolvers). Your head needs to be in the game when you are handling a cocked firearm, especially when you are decocking it. It's not rocket science by any means, but you cannot become casual about it and start to rely on muscle memory. That is a sure way to achieve an accidental discharge. But as far as carrying a loaded arm around in the woods, I don't think there is anything safer.

On the other hand, a loaded (and primed, in the case of a muzzleloader) bolt action is always cocked. If the safety is disengaged, it is no different than walking around with a cocked hammer. But even with the safety engaged, you are still walking around with a firearm where the firing pin is cocked and the firing pin (or cocking piece) spring is fully compressed at all times.

If we were to take a loaded, primed and uncocked Omega 30 ft in the air and drop it 100 times I bet it would discharge less than a loaded and primed bolt action with the safety on (also dropped 100 times from the same height). In fact, I would be highly surprised if the Omega would discharge even once. The bolt action, I wouldn't bet on.
