Jay, I am so glad you got away lightly from this experience, and what you say about the sporran strap is SO RIGHT! D-Rings, clips and chains are for Dress Sporrans, NOT all leather Day Sporrans. Traditionally, and when I was a lad it was the norm, Day Sporrans should be worn on a single length leather sporran strap looped through the back of the sporran.
Allowing a severed strap to be pulled from the sporran, as yours was, is just another of many very good reasons for every kilt wearer to insist on wearing the D-Ringless, clipless and chainless leather strap with his Day Sporrans!
Take heed, fellow kilt wearers.
Take care,
Ham.
