resting on a tree wont break them!
They did not break with 18 stone jumping up and down on them. We also dropped a kerbstone on them from 5 feet high during our tests.
We could not break them!!

However, i suspect that when they are screwed to a wing, they become slightly stiffer, and therefore more likely to break..... like the (narrower)one on my Disco did....
