Apparently, the design of the Sigma allows inadventent disengagement

A "Bigma" did this. Alot of good the Pentax water sealing did, you've
got to keep that lens attached! Now I'm beginning to see why this
lens mfg. is hated by some.

And, once again, you demonstrate why you aren't to be taken seriously.
Who pointed you to that particular post?
And why didn't you read the whole thread?

Oh I read it. It's pretty obvious the guy didn't intentionally unlock
the lens and dump the body, the thing came loose after he hit the
release by accident. The design (that allows this to happen) is
obviously poor. Another example; People mentioning that the card
door on cheaper Nikons (D50, D40, etc) is easy to accidentally knock
open whereas in some cameras, it's basically impossible for that to
happen without the owner wanting it to happen. Good design versus bad
design. In cars, bad designs take lives, but in cameras, it's just
the insurer to ends up paying, as in this case.

So then please explain how it's the fault of the lens rather than the user,
