No. Hasn't happened to me for a long time but in the last few weeks some customers have had some expensive oops moments.
Some simple rules for me that have helped well:
Table covers/lids are down if left unattended.
Stylus guards are fitted in the morning when needed, not on the night after a few Nikka but always before any cleaning may happen.
And lastly. Extreme care gets taken when dusting down a table. Stylus guard in place. If no stylus guard is available, I raise the arm lift and move the stylus near the spindle. Like queueing for playing the last track on an LP.
Never dust below an exposed stylus.
