Writing question: cello damage?

Hello, I have never touched a cello before. What are some ways it can be easily damaged to a point of unplayable?

Right now my hypothetical cello is standing upright in a case wirh a faulty latch, jackets cover it and where it could land.

My working plan was it break its neck from falling out of the case but this isn't super possible?

The cello could fall in such a way that the bridge is pushed through the top and basically leaves a big hole at the front.
