Have you seen any "Pelican" brand luggage destroyed?

Just curious 🤔 on what you think. I mainly got them for their waterproofing and that they float. Since an entire cart of cruise ship passengers luggage fell into the ocean several months ago 😲
Sorry for late reply. Pelican are basically indestructible. I've never seen any pelican case break open or anything. But I wouldn't want to use one as regular luggage. I assume they're more designed to carry commercial stuff like tools or camera equipment etc.
