It also failed the drop test.

@ 2:26 in the video, you can see the light went dead after the drop.

Weight will be the problem in that latter test. One of the secrets to the durability of the venerable Fenix E01 is its lack of weight. Its terminal velocity is less than the velocity required to do any harm.
