Well, nothing in the world is really unbreakable, but if it's liber and
durable, it could stand up to a lot of abuse. Generally, you would want an
antenna with a lot of play, nothing really brittle, as that would snap off in
an instant when pressure is put on it. If you could find one that has the
free play of a whip, I think you'd have to try pretty hard to break it, and
if it breaks, it would have to be on purpose. As for Critchfield, I'm really
not too familiar with that personally.

On another note, I had a '77 Jeep Cherokee, and the antenna was quite limber.
