This is the real question.

Most of the designs I've seen so far on Twitter are a basically a funneled cup shape. Once the gear is in, it would take a pretty massive shakeup to drop it.

The two places where you're going to see dropped gears are at the receiving station, and at the lift. I'm not sure you'll see many dropped gears anywhere else.
