A sad story, Ed, but a great reminder for all of us. We blindly trust that the straps supplied with our binoculars will safely and securely hold our beloved optics around our necks. Unfortunately, most straps supplied these days are junk, even with "high end" glass.
Nikon supplies the same cheesy straps with their whole line; I would think for the price of a HG series glass you would get a better strap, but NO!
I have chucked all my Nikon and Pentax straps and replaced them with Op/Tech straps made in good 'ol Wyoming, USA. They are well worth their price for the comfort and security they provide. Money well spent!
Glad your 8x42s survived the ordeal!
