Well, I started doing that when I was shooting for newspapers. Getting
the shot was everything then.

I usually hold the lens I'm putting on the camera between my thumb and

large lenses. It's fast and I've only dropped the 43mm limited once, (managed
to get my foot under it, solid little lens, stings after a drop of 4 feet), and
the A 24mm f2.8 has been dropped once, I wasn't able to interpose my foot that
time. Still not a bad record during the time I've been using K mount cameras,
(since the MX was introduced).
Holy crap! You live dangerously. I remove one lens, cap it and put it away.
Then I get out the other lens, remove the caps and put it on the camera. In 40
years, of using DSLR and rangefinder cameras with interchangeable lenses, I've
never dropped a lens while putting it on a camera. I did drop a Fuji 50mm about
35 years ago, but I was fondling it, while I was stoned.

I usually change lenses with little drama. I never gave the release
switch much thought. I'll try to get annoyed next time.

This would actually really screw me up (horses for courses, I guess).
For me: I always have the camera facing away from me - right hand gripping it,
reach in with the ring finger, push the lever, and twist off with the left hand
(still looking up at the stage or whatever my subject is). Throw lens into bag
with left hand, grab other lens, spin it onto the body and keep shooting. My
RH index finger barely even needs to come off of the shutter button.
I can't imagine taking the time to flip the camera around to do all of this...
where? On a tabletop or something?
I usually change my lenses "on the fly" unless I'm setting up a static shot on
a tabletop at home.

You get me, Charles.
