I tend to agree with David's opinion.  I probably haven't repaired as many
as he has, but I have repaired quite a few with broken totes.  The vast
majority that I have repaired appear to have been dropped or in some way
had an impact (perhaps something dropped onto them).  In my own use, I've
never had one break during use, as yet.  The ones that I have repaired (in
most cases, simply gluing them if the break is clean) have help up very
nicely to normal use.  In some cases, you can barely even tell they were
ever broken.  One other thing I have noted on a few, the rod that runs
through the tote to attach it to the plane has been bent of a few - also
indicating they might have been dropped, IMHO.
