Someone lost a bet and had to wear the Cruel Shoes for a day.

It’s for making sure nothing breaks or bends during transport. So basically transport safety

@definitelynotafish2162 Not just "transport safety", which most people will take as "is moving the thing from place to place safe"... but the finer point: "transport-accident safety", which means "if we drop it before or after 'actual transport from place to place (say while loading it onto a trailer-bed), how large a drop can it safely withstand". 30cm is a hair less that a foot... and while "safe-in-testing", the deformation of support in a drop of less than a foot is... marginal. I'd like to see the data on 50 such drop-tests... then the data from 2 or 3 drop-tests from 40cm (about 16 inches). I'm not worried at all about possible criticality unless the drop is a couple of meters (say, 6 feet)... I'm just wondering now much heat is the freshly "reconfigured" rod-package is likely to generate before someone rescues the whole thing to prevent it becoming a hazard.

Drop and run?
