I am so glad you did not have a serious injury... we read stories every year that do not turn out so well. The last few years a few photographers have lost their lives in a similar fashion.
A few days ago I lost my lens hood over a cliff... fell into stormy seas and thou I searched for more than an hour after the high tide subsided... I am afraid it has become oceanic pollution. They are also not so cheap to replace... and I have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for a replacement.

I was in Yorkshire taking pictures from a cliff top. I stepped too close to the edge, slipped, and bounced halfway down the cliff on my bum, screaming so loud I strained my vocal chords. Luckily it was a part that was not a shear drop. I never let go of my camera, but held it up all the way! My husband had to get help to get me back up again. Not very dignified.
The bruising was fantastic. I didn't sit down properly for about two weeks.
