The vibration of just normal trail riding will kill it. 
PERFECT for roadies, however.

I'll remind you that you said that at your next autocross. Beware the chain link fence!
I consider crashing to be the MTBing equivalent of hitting a cone.
Actually crashing a car at an autox ~= doing something so reckless on the MTB trail that you send yourself to the hospital.

Does it have a hard drive? 
Solid state ish can stand a LOT of vibration, probably more than your elbows can.

I probably should have gone to the hospital last summer. But, the post ride beer-b-q at my place numbed it.

What happened?
Left foot slips off of pedal and seperation anxiety ensues. I land head first somehow destroying my helmet and my sense of orientation for the next hour or so. Beers were consumed. Laughs were head. Need for MRI was ignored.
