If you have an insurance rider on your gear they will cover repair costs 100%.....my wife and I went to the zoo because she was at an auction to benefit the zoo and won a day with the keepers. She got into the condor cage with the handler and had a condor fly down right next to her and peck at her arms and hands (had her fingers pulled into her hands tight). We had visited all over the zoo at the end of the day we were at the quarantine building where there was a baby gazelle and a reindeer. They were new to the zoo and were being held here separate from the other animals.
The baby gazelle was like a dog, would come up to you and let you pet it's head and then it would run away. I had my arms filled with all kinds of stuff I was holding for my wife while she was walking around with the handlers. I had my 100-400 zoom over my shoulder in its case, I reached down to pat the gazelle and as I leaned over my case slide down my arm faster than you can blink. Right over the gazelles head.....he took off with my lens and somehow he pushed his front legs through the strap and it finally wiggled over his hind quarters. When I picked it up, there was a dent in the barrel. I called my insurance agent and my policy covered 100%, no deductible to repair my lens and even provided a new case (the other one had grass stains all over it).
The insurance covers everything and anything. It is the only way to keep your equipment covered and safe in my mind. And yes, your lens gets knocked off to the floor, as long as the lens is called out on the policy, the insurance will cover it.
