IPad Left on Roof of Vehicle, Flies Off While Driving, Survives Intact

Question

.: Not a question, but a story I'd like to share with you. The incident served to illustrate how sturdy and robust the iPad is (2011 model). This is my Facebook post about what happened:
Note to self: Remember that when you put your iPad on the roof of your RAV4 and then forget it's there, don't drive away later in the day before removing it from said roof.
So this happened: I was out for coffee early Sunday morning, and on the way home, stopped for groceries and bread. Arriving home, I opened the hood, got out of my vehicle and put the iPad on the roof, and added more windshield washer fluid to the RAV4. Then I took the groceries into the house, forgetting about the iPad.
Later in the day, I went to buy some Christmas cards. I drove to South Edmonton Common, bought the cards, and drove home. About a kilometer from home, something suddenly flew by the driver's side window, so close that I ducked. Then I realized: you idiot, it was your iPad!
I couldn't stop the car, as I was driving west down 23rd Ave in traffic. I turned at the light and parked in the strip mall parking lot at the corner, and started walking back down 23rd Street to retrieve the iPad, assuming it was destroyed. As I got closer, I saw that it had landed face-up, with its case open. Vehicles were driving over it, but hadn't crushed it. It had landed exactly in the middle of the left lane.
I couldn't believe it was still intact. When there was a break in traffic, I rushed onto the avenue, retrieved it, and scrambled back to the sidewalk. I figured at least 30-50 vehicles would have driven over it, but none had driven ON it. I couldn't believe it was still intact. Weird thing is, the screen said that it had to cool down before I could use it again, despite it being quite cold. I walked back to my car, and when I got home, plugged it in to recharge, and it was fine.
Note to self: never put your iPad (or anything else) on the roof of your car ever again.
