Well I guess it had to happen, after reading innumerable stories on here about people doing silly things and loosing x million in cargo I have joined the club.
BHing in a RES which has been pretty good to me, I'd been getting some small fry and finally some of the bigger boats had been appearing, and I'd amassed about 350k in local bounty and i was up to 300k in Alliance and about 150 in Empire, which was starting to concern me and was making me thinking about heading of there to collect. Anyhow, a Python appeared with a 102k bounty so though t i stick around for that, and then a 150k 'Conda appeared which i also collected on. So sitting on ~1.2mil bounty in total, which is 50% of my total credits.
Time to make a move,but oh look there's a couple of canisters of Silver over there, time for a spot of smuggling. Grabbed this first one no problem, and just about to grab the next when "Ship scan detected" cue quick panic, slam the cargo scoop closed and hot boost. I think you all know what's coming. Like an iceberg on the glassly Atlantic that fine April morning, an asteroid the size of Nebraska appears menacing out of the gloom .... and i face plant into it at full speed.
Eject! Eject! Eject!
Cue the insurance page "Tell me sir, exactly how did the accident happen?"
As Zphod would say " 10 out of 10 for style, but minus several million for good thinking."
You gotta laugh haven't you "shruggs" oh well all part of life's rich tapestry as they say.
