That jam at the local con last weekend broke my backpack straps

I was at GalaxyCon Raleigh on Saturday and my bag was loaded with about 15 comics I bought from a vendor. Right when I was heading to a panel on X-Men history, both straps snapped at the same time and everything hit the floor. People had to step over my stuff and I spent 20 minutes trying to fix it with a lanyard. Now I'm only bringing a tote bag or a small backpack to shows, no more overloading. Anyone else had gear fail on them at a convention?

GalaxyCon Raleigh is a good show though I've only been once. I actually had the opposite experience last year at a smaller local con, I was carrying this massive tote bag with way too many things and the handle ripped clean off on the escalator. Now I'm strictly a backpack person because at least both shoulders share the load. Maybe check the stitching on your bag before you go next time, some of those cheap backpacks can't handle the weight of a full comic haul.
