This is true.

Gravity is a cruel mistress. 100-130 pounds (gotta include the battery) falling from 12 inches is easily enough to do some serious damage to aluminum frames (or any frames, really) let alone 45, 55, 65 inches.

I can only imagine the nightmare of having a West Coast Drivetrain fall and shear off a wheel or two, bend the axles and potentially even damage the chassis itself.

A misstep right before finals (or if it's bad enough, any time before then) could spell the end of your competetiveness.
