Gear slots are hit points of a sort.
As a player, I don't like losing my fancy stuff for fear it may never come back.
I'm of two minds on that:
(1) The Beads of Mardi Gras: One is certain they will never catch a bead but invariably everyone leaves with a pile .... only to leave them piled in the attic. So, perhaps, it's not that bad.
(2) In a game where there are a lot of interesting things, one doesn't mind losing your magic sword. The Dancing Scimitar is so much more interesting.
As I get older, I prefer a simpler solution where we don't have to figure out what traits we have or don't have.
Though, it would be nice to generate a little fear in the players.
Yours,
