Well, sitting on a plane I saw a bag drop off a baggage handler cart that was whirling around in the rain and it sat there a good 30 minutes. Other handlers drove past it without picking it up. We pushed back and the bag was still there. So while chances are slim, it can happen.

To the OP, Redoxx makes a superb bag that folds flat and is extremely wear resistant. Does not pack up but that flat fold makes up for it.

I was going to suggest either the RedOxx you pointed out or an Eagle Creek duffle.
