It survives 2.5G landings hanging off a wing, how bad will it be sliding of the side of a truck?
It's the sudden high frequency impact that does the damage - and that may be a lot more then a 2.5g. The critical issue, I think, is whether the shaft bearings have been Brinelled.

"Brinelling /ˈbrɪnəlɪŋ/ is the permanent indentation of a hard surface. It is named after the Brinell scale of hardness, in which a small ball is pushed against a hard surface at a preset level of force, and the depth and diameter of the mark indicates the Brinell hardness of the surface.
