I guess you could say this was a drop test! Normally we drop things 30 to 40 inches, but 3 storeys would normally be considered overkill.

Interesting that the case did it's job - maybe this was a victory for try and see tradition over engineering!

But it sounds like a lot of the things a couple of us have been muttering about were at work here - from your description it would seem that there was very little "coupling" of the case and the horn and the most fragile parts were free floating, or nearly so. Given that the case were strong enough to protect against something penetrating the walls, this sounds like a pretty good design
