I've built a simple habit into my handling of cameras and gear around automobiles and motorcycles:
When loading and unloading, if they're not going into the interior (or an attached bag with respect to the motorcycles) they always go onto the ground, not the roof or seat. I'm much more likely to notice a bag or camera that I've momentarily forgotten on the ground than on the roof or seat, and much less likely to subject it to a fall.
