    The case was about to be loaded into the van along with another flight case and a backpack containing my laptop and notebooks for the weekend. The chap driving the can didn't see the cases and just drove straight over them, only to be screamed at by his mechanic to stop.

    All my camera gear is stored in two pelican cases, not just for physical protection but to prevent mold as well.

    It would be interesting to see how a Peli case would have withstood that.

    One of mine has taken some serious abuse and I know that cars can drive over them without crushing, but a van might be interesting!

    Anyone want to test out the limits?????! ;)

    Wow, I'd say there were a few moments of complete and utter panic there!
