Seems like just one rock kicked up could get pretty expensive.

C'Mon man, It's a GoPro. they are made for sports and action, pretty tough and waterproof. I have mounted them on my dirt bike and atv for years and beat them to death and so far no major damage save for the occasional mount.
Go to the 30 second and 2:37 mark on this one for durability examples.

For some reason the link doesn't always open. You can hold your thumb on it and hit search or cut and paste.

Pretty cool shot. I like the low angle view.

Very nice and cool vid. Many are getting into the 360 vids now and GoPro has one of those.
