Yes, the torch was dropped in North Vancouver during the 2010 relay In case the flame is ever extinguished there are 4-6 lanterns that have also been lit with the Olympic flame. These lanterns follow directly behind whoever is carrying the torch.

The Olympic torch went out while it was being carried by David Follett in the relay between Torrington and Bideford in Devon. The torch was re-lit by a standby flame which accompanies the torch in the chase vehicle.
