I'm with George on this. I have just run over a Neutrik
XLR in my car about 20 times and I can't break it. How
about someone with a truck doing the same thing? Oh,
George has already done that.

I figure that a heavily-loaded fork lift with steel wheels rolling over a
XLR end on a concrete or heavy steel-plate floor, might cause the plastic on
a Neutrik crack. Probably bend the metal, too.

I've got images of bored roadies lining mic cords up on the floor and then
taking bets on who can steer the fork lift straight enough, long enough, to
nail the most connectors.

Just wait - Neutrik will come out with XLRs with a heavy titanium shell that
protects the threaded insert.
