Do not try this at home...

I recently had a little accident when I came home and picked up my bag in the backseat of my car. A little absent-minded I had forgotten to close my Lowepro Minitrekker bag properly and as I lifted it over my shoulder, my camera fell out into the backseat (puh!) but my Canon 28-135mm IS lens took a backflip and a triple half-twist before going PLONK in the concrete floor in the garage. It all felt like a long slow motion John Woo shot, it only missed the white pidgeons flying in. Well, as I picked it up, I saw the casing had gotten som scratches, but the glass was undamaged. What luck I though, until I heard some pieces inside make expensive noises. The barrel would not extend all the way and I knew it was going to cost. Fortunately my equipment is insured so I hope that I can get the repair cost back. Is it possible to install airbags into photoequipment? I dont think its going to get any cheaper as I change gear.
