Airlines aren't much better ... I once drove to visit my Parents on the east coast, and on the way back, I hit a spot of ice and rolled by car - complete write-off. I had an Apple][ clone with me in a suitcase, and it sailed past me and assisted in the rapid removal of my windscreen. But it survived just fine... It did NOT survive Air Canada getting me the rest of the way home. It arrived with damage to the case and a broken crystal. I'm pretty sure I know exactly how it happened - being a small airport, I was able to watch as they loaded the plane. I saw the handler grab my suitcase from the top luggage trolly, and swing it up over his head to smack down HARD on a conveyor going into the plane...
