Years ago in our local Orchestra , before it went
professional the Bass trombone was played by a very short
individual. His arm wasn't long enough to reach 7th
position so he had  a string attached and would flick it back
from 7th as necessary. One concert while playing the Willy Tell
storm sequence the string broke and the slide shot underneath
the chairs of the Cello section and out into the audience.
