You can throw any of them around, maybe you should be asking which ones would survive.
Seriously, I'd echo the comment ref Olympus. The other alternative is something cheap you could afford to risk. Good luck with the training.

These ones are known to have better weather sealing that the Canon 1Ds

Bounce them off the ground and dunk them in water and thy'll still work
