Driving into walls, over sand dunes, falling 5 feet, and having the robot be young child operable are all factors outside the design constraints.
Obviously people don't intentionally make their robots incredibly delicate, but nobody designs their robot with demos in mind, or doing other similar things that the robot was never built for, hence why it's sometimes so easy for them to break (or otherwise cause damage) during these events.
