I took one outside for some "stress-testing" this afternoon which consisted of throwing it across my yard, and the bin was completely unharmed. The bins are fairly thick and very sturdy, so I hope some teams take advantage of this and chuck the bins around.
Well today we were seeing how hihg we could stack them and we got up to as high as the celing would go, well... it fell and the one one the top landed on the corner of the top side and the entire side blew out leaving a big gaping whole, the celing is about 12 feet high.
