The Peli on its way down to the bottom of the cliff
The Peli i1010 burst open on impact!
Another view of the aftermath of the first drop ...
Closeup of the damage to the Pili so far ...

After the simulated rain test
Surprisingly, the inside of the Peli was dry!
The fire test ... remember, the Peli isn't flame retardant, we just did this to see the effect of the blowtorch on a non-tlame retardant case
After a few seconds the plastic starts to melt, sag and catch fire
Damage from the blowtorch after a few seconds of exposure to the heat
Compare this damage to the damage the Seahorse SX 300 sustained - which is rated as flame retardant and was exposed to the blowtorch for around 30 seconds
