AI transmitter damage when directly connected to 1st stage

[scubadada]

Have you ever had damage to your AI transmitter as a result of it being directly connected to your 1st stage? Thanks to @scrane for the idea for the poll. This is complimentary to my previous poll, Attaching AI transmitter to the 1st stage

No damage, but I stopped a DM from lifting my gear with his hand around the transmitter, as stated in you other poll. Not saying a transmitter WILL get damaged by being attached directly to the first stage, but it only takes a few seconds of someone having a brain fart for a transmitter TO get damaged.

Cheers -

Maybe there should be a 3rd poll option?

"I have not, but I have personally witnessed someone else's damage while directly mounted to a 1st stage"? Of course, I think we want direct knowledge, not "my girlfriend's brother knows somebody who said they saw one get broken." But, if someone personally, directly saw it happen or the result, I'd still be curious to hear about it.

Only 21 responses so far but all in the "no damage" category. With all the posts I see on SB about people using a short hose, I really kind of expected at least ONE person to chime in here by now with "mine got damaged".
