I *usually* eject properly. Sometimes if I'm lazy and I know there is no read/write going on I'll just pull it out. I did lose data once inadvertently disconnecting a FW400 card reader during read. I was copying photos while driving (yeah, real brilliant) and was switching cards. I eventually recovered the images with some sort of photo rescue program but it was a PITA.
