Vinyl is tougher than you think. The old 78s, the ancient, dinosaur records, they shattered if dropped. My vinyl bounces if dropped. Not of course a practice I ever engaged in or would recommend, but when once or twice an album slipped out of my hand and hit the floor it did not break.
The main trouble with vinyl I found was keeping it clean and dust free. Once you got a scratch, it was there pretty much forever, to the extent that there are still some songs I relate to by the point at which they skipped or stuck; almost became an endearing quality. But not for long.
