Tourniquet test
A tourniquet test (also known as a Rumpel-Leede Capillary-Fragility Test or simply a capillary fragility test) determines capillary fragility. It is a clinical diagnostic method to determine a patient's haemorrhagic tendency. It assesses fragility of capillary walls and is used to identify thrombocytopenia (a reduced platelet count).
The test is defined by the WHO as one of the necessary requisites for diagnosis of Dengue fever. A blood pressure cuff is applied and inflated to a point between the systolic and diastolic blood pressures for five minutes. The test is positive if there are more than 20 petechiae per square inch (a petechia is a small red or purple spot on the body, caused by a minor hemorrhage).
This test does not have high specificity. Interfering factors with this test are women who are premenstrual, postmenstrual and not taking hormones, or those with sun damaged skin, since all will have increased capillary fragility.(Pagana, & Pagana, 1998; Tsai, 2000).

I suppose how those people tested the iPods fragility. Try breaking it in every way possible until it breaks. That is, if you have replacements.

If I knew there was going to be a test I would have studied. To quote Hannibal Lecter- "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti."

By chucking it down a flight of stairs. If it breaks, it's too fragile.

Hit your head with it. If it breaks then - yes - it is fragile.
If your head breaks instead - then you are more fragile that you thought.

I do not test people and I do not surround myself with people who would do such a thing,

Not sure that's something that should be "tested".

Lol, I agree with PJ & Juan!
Or, give it a good hug and see how tightly you have to hug it before it breaks ;-)
