probably about an 18" fall with minimal padding protecting the empeg.

Mr. Murphy strikes again... bad luck..

I'm more and more amazed that my MkI didn't suffer more than it did when dropped (inside
the original bag) from shoulder height onto concrete (don't carry too much loose stuff in one
hand without having the hand through the loop...) All it did was bust off the top left corner of
the fascia and bust the zipper of the bag (the corner of the fascia sort of cut off some of the 'hooks').

Some disks (I can't recall the brand) do rattle straight from the factory, even seen an attached
note stating that it was normal, so that doesn't necessarily mean it's dead...
