Odds are good that you could drop this thing off a bridge and it'd be OK either landing on rocks or in the lake under it.

I mean, practically every other Nintendo product to date has been able to survive washing machines, drops, and other such mayhems that would cause another system to be utterly destroyed.

I accidently stepped on the top screen of my DS (was unfolded), and the next thing I knew something was broken and pixels died off. Well, not the pixels, but they wouldn't light up along with the rest of the backlight. It was just a few pixels. When I pressed the back of the top, too, it "broke" more. So I said "**** it" and I pressed on the back enough so now it's evened out. No backlight is annoying, though, and there's still a crack and some wierd black stuff at the top.

I have a new DS, though. Luckily they're not all that expensive >__> I may disect my old DS some day, though, of course, with many precautions and knowledge of wtf I'm doing.
