Cool test. 9 inches of drop can be a pretty significant amount of impact. What was the surface it was dropped on? Carpet actually does help a bit with distributing the force over a longer time.

Count me in on the T-Bone question/interest. I think those of us interested in this is less about the frame getting bent, and more about the dynamics observed on carpet as well as possibly throwing a track when really high side loads are applied.
