I was demostrating how there's no secondary retention on my HX270E, when I dropped it and the clip shattered 
I engineered a solution with 2 cable-ties and a a caribiner.
Caribiner clips on to my LJ. Not sure how easy it would be to reach & unclip it if in the water, but not sure that it would have been any easier with the original clip!
I think that an extendable curly lanyard thing would be a good security measure so it would be permanently attached.

I prefer "high visibility metallic salmon"
You're right though. The caribina is actually an knife that Mrs T had as an emergency knife clipped to her LJ - it was a matter of using what I had to hand. Anyway it does the job until I can justify a nice shiny floating DSC handheld

The Relax one on Amazon looks absolutely ideal, sadly one of the things that the imbeciles at Amazon will not send here!

That's one problem I find with the crewsaver crewfit LJ, there is very little space on it to attach anything.
