Default RE: Bow slipped out of hand, Anyone else?

Happened to me once. I had a high letoff, single cam bow, and was fiddling around with different ways of gripping the handle, trying to find ANY kind of grip the bow liked. Wound up with my palm around to the shelf side of the grip and the bow centered right over my thumb joint instead of centered up in the web. Got the blasted thing drawn and I guess I let my release hand creep forward a bit (can't maintain back tension with high letoff POS bows [:@]). My wrist collapsed when the cam kicked in. At least I was on top of it enough that it was a semi-controlled wreck. Started letting down as soon as I felt the bow trying to get away and all I got was a bruise.

That was the last single cam bow, and last high letoff bow, I will ever own.
