It happened to me and a unique new Expert Stylus 78 retip..

on an Arcam C77 cartridge years ago when I was dusting.

Now I only run cartridges with flip-down guards on my detachable headshell arms. On the fixed arm I still put the slide-on guard onto the MC cartridge when it's not being used.

Even then it's a lottery as to what will survive. A drawer of headshells/cartridges hit the carpet a couple of weeks ago, my own stupid fault. The newest cart, a Shure M97xE lost the tip due to it's easily lifted guard. The others, M44s with 78rpm retips, remained unhurt, although an SME shell suffered a paint chip.
