I can't believe it: my first accidental shutoff. . . .

I've read over and over about people accidentally hitting the key and knocking out the ignition, as recently as yesterday. "I WILL NEVER," I always assumed to myself. . . .
Well, it was while driving alone on a fairly high speed curve (an exit ramp). The force slid an unanchored cardboard tube I had stowed in the passenger footwell and just over the seat front. The tube, which contained a photo light stand, must have tapped the key just right.
I credit accounts I've read on this list, because I reacted practically by reflex and went into neutral, then restarted in about a second and was able to make the final exit turn without a problem.
From now on, everything gets anchored or stowed way, way back. . . .
Hope this helps someone else out there,
