Hard Drive shock protection

I'm working on a project in which I will be mounting a desktop computer on a lawn mower to control it. I'm worried that I will be running the risk of damaging the hard drive from all of the vibration. Has anyone ever killed a hard drive from vibration? How long and intense can vibration be before there is serious damage? Also, what can be done to protect a hard drive from vibration, I've found a few ways but I want to know what others are out there.

This website has a description of how hard drives are normally damaged.
