Yes, it's possible. Two potential solutions come to mind: 1) write some code that will monitor and record the peak values from the gyro. If you find that you have a problem, you can implement a control loop that will minimize the chance that the gyro will saturate. 2) Purchase another gyro like the ADXRS150 or the ADXRS300.
