Static line attachment clips being left attached to the nose wheel on light aircraft that then fall off when taking off. Transceiver radios left on wings that blow off on the runway, maps and bags that blow out of open helicopter doors etc. etc.
To err is human, to screw up royally takes a pilot.

Was the tug still attached? Was the tug driver still in the seat? Incredible.

I can vouch that for a C210 there is no need for a tug driver or even a tug.
I reasonably fit guy can shift it out of a hanger.

That's true Ian, I have shifted a C206 single handed. Still can't believe he moved with the thing attached.
