I tripped into a ditch while carrying my old wobbletronic. Whole thing didn't just fall, it was flung as hard as possible into the dirt. The only damage was to a couple of teeth of the r&p focuser. It was still quite usable afterwards.
I had to get hubby to move the big girl a few times after I had another trip and fall incident ( I was too busy looking at the stars and not the ground and tripped over a hose ). I don't let him do it anymore because he finds it hard to get it through doorways without wacking the finder or focuser on the jamb.
