Got straplocks fitted on all the guitars I own - Schallers on Danelectros, or where there's a strap button normally at the neck joint (and hence little clearance) - Marvel system for LP's / Teles.
It certainly IS possible to drop a guitar. I also play sax and have had a few expensive repairs to vintage saxes after the sling unexpectedly gave way. Dropping a 1924 Conn alto which you've just spent months lovingly restoring is a bit of a drag.
With guitars, there's always the risk that the strap wears, you don't spot it, or it just pops off for no apparent reason.
