Can't you create some tests that simulate real world conditions before moving onto the crazy stunts. How about:-
- Dunking in a pint of beer - simulates itself.
- Standing on
- Scraping against bricks
- Repeatedly dropped
- Slightly crushed (Don't put it in a bench vice on the 1st go)
- Giving it a run in a rock tumbler
Come on guys, you can do better. Tell us what it "will" survive, and then move on to all the fun and games.
dunking -
how about cooking it? or boiling it.
standing -
tank? 'slightly' squashed it or how about
running over it in a car.
scraping against bricks - wedge+tarinder+hitting a brick wall = the same effect..
dropped - 20ft drop not high enough?
slightly crushed -
<see standing>
run in a rock tumbler - hows about
lots of little tiny rock shaped things (bullets) hitting it instead?
if it can survive that lot, I think it'll survive someone dropping it in the toilet, fishing it out, dropping it onto bathroom floor because its icky, accidentally standing on it when trying to pick it up, then giving it a dry in a tumble dryer.. (your suggestions but in a normal everyday situation.)
