My guess (and it's nothing more than that) the user did not properly  
seat the tab on the other side of the camera; thereby allowing the  
the base plate attached to the tripod to act as a lever. If the tab  
were properly seated on the opposite end; I can't imagine that this  
could happen without also breaking off the tab.
