Apart from falling of things like mountains, off stepladders and out of trees.
Demos are the most dangerous places. Not just because cops like to give anyone with a camera a good whack.
Dangling from a bridge - the tracks looked really old - to get a good shot of a crowd at a CND demo - then discovering a train wanted say Hi!.
Shooting anti-hunt-demo - taken a long lens to try out. Saw a group of people with the cops, looked interesting and shot away. 3 minutes later I'm legging it across a field with a line of cops after me like the Charge of the light Brigade.
Frantically trying to rewind the film, shove the canister down the Y-Fronts and reload shoot a couple before a barbed wire fence caught me. The cops removed the film from the camera and told me to s*d off.
Next day 2 cops on the doorstep holding a copy of the local rag showing a shaky shot of
a local magistrate who'd claimed he wasn't there, wasn't biased and wasn't a freemason :)
