No. I guess you could just buy a simple wrist strap, but I use a homemade combination of a Velcro watchband and a carabiner key chain. I can just clip it on and off and it's very sturdy. I even tried a simple looped boot shoelace <g>, It worked just fine and the K10D just dangled in the air when I let it go. I just couldn't bring myself to trust it.
There must be many ways to rig a simple safety line. In practice, I have the camera with the grip and my camera bag (Domke F2) on my shoulder.
