If this abc57 story is anything to go by, iPads are tough little beasts! Its owner accidentally drove off with the iPad on his car roof, it flew off while he was driving and embedded itself in the bumper of Georgia woman’s car.

As if that wasn’t enough, it was so firmly stuck that the woman used a hammer to free it. Despite its adventure, the iPad was still working and the driver was able to open an app to identify the owner in order to return it.
