As for depending on a safety, safeties have been known to fail, especially when the trigger has been adjusted by someone with no clue, or when the owner has lubed the trigger mechanism, resulting in it becoming gummed up. Anything that can happen when loading/closing a firearm when game is seen, can happen when the firearm is loaded/closed beforehand.

Agreed, and I have no experience with dropping a shotgun from shoulder height so I have nothing more to add to that. If the shells fall out or the action doesn't close, that is awesome. Have you tested this theory?
