I have seen a snare bounce off of someone's harness while they were marching, but it was only in rehearsal.

I think my story is probably the worst.
My line uses the heaviest drums ever: Dynasty.
We have 25lbs snares and 45lbs tenors(double spock).
So we're running through our show out on the field, marching and stuff. I was playing tenors there's a snare next to me. Well, one of her J-bars fell off and the weight was too much for the second so the whole thing dropped. Well I was crab stepping and I tripped on it, fell backwards, and my 45 pound tenors come straight off the carrier and catch me right in the nose. So I went to the hospital to get 4 stitches IN MY NOSE. And it turns out that that little freshman tried to make her carrier lower and loosened the J-bars to lower it and didn't tighten them back enough. So we made sure she never messed with a carrier again.

Yeah i saw this a while back

one of the shoulder things on my harness came loose and I marched around like an idiot, supporting my drum with one harness side. I managed to stay balanced as well. I was literally sideways, and it was pretty funny watching me try to hold my drum, fix the harness, play and march at the same time.

This past Christmas parade, a bolt popped off my drums and the whole thing came a tumblin' down...in front of over a hundred people...and I had to carry them the rest of the parade...

...agreeing however that LibertyCoDL probably has the worst incident...

Oops I meant to put 20 lbs snares. They're about 20. I'm OCD so I hate using numbers that aren't divisible by 5 or 10. And our directorsaid with the cradle it's around 40 or 45. But they're still pretty damn heavy.

Last summer when I was marching with the Mississippi Lions All-State Band. We were doing an open rehearsal for the little town of Ellisville, MS. It came to a mesh drill between the battery and the trombones and baritones. Well, my lane was cut short because trombones were in the way and they weren't moving out of the way. I slammed right into them and my drum came off of the carrier and hit the bottom of my shin and hit the concrete. Note that these were new black pearls...I had to catch my drum from rolling down hill, and continue with the run through. Afterwards we stopped and made sure the instrument was fine and make sure I didn't have a broken leg, which luckily I didn't...fun times...
Oh yeah, and I remember when that guys tenors fell off...I was sitting on the 50 on about the 10th or so row..I felt bad for that guy...It took him a set or two to get 'em back on.

i heard that before i came a guard member passed out during a show. and i also heard about a snare player's phone going off during a show.
