Yes Geoff, as Leon said there have been many flock ups and most of us have a story or two to tell. Over the years there have been at least a couple of cases of broken toes from counterweights. Most of us have dropped eyepieces and I've nearly lost the OTA once or twice. Some inventive souls have even tried to burn their big dobs down.
Lewis, I've got a 15cm f/8 acromat on a goto GC5. It drives the eyepiece into the tripod legs so readily that I now do all long slews manually and just finish off with the goto. Calibrating the goto 3-4 times a night gets tedious.
