| I usually worry more about the gear hurting me than me hurting the gear, unless I'm running gates (in which case I usually try to empty my pockets as much as possible). A lot of times, I've got my phone in a pants pocket and my little camera (a Powershot G9) in a chest pocket; if I've got my 20D with me, it's usually in a Dakine backpack (not a camera-specific bag, not specially padded, etc). I have skied with my 20D under my jacket, on my chest, as welll; the biggest issue I had there was running into a tree and ending up with some nice bruising in the vicinity of my sternum (camera was fine). I generally don't ski with it in front of me anymore.
