The only hard drive I've ever heard of being destroyed or damaged by shock was one that was mounted with foam shock absorbers...it set up a harmonic pattern with the spinning platter and shook itself to death. Hard drives are designed to be mounted solidly. If a HD was going to be damaged by shock, no amount of cleverness is going to fix it...the simple fact is, a good HD will not be hurt by any sort of shock that doesn't AT LEAST knock the driver unconscious.
