I'd say it counts. :-)
My 1n and 2 have spent more than their fair share of time on backpack trips
and bicycle trips when new, been carried all over the place while I was in
the service, and most recently, spent a whole lot of time riding in my
camera bag or strapped to the passenger seat in an off-road truck, where
they were handy for all the photo opportunities. Neither has ever given me
any trouble at all, nor have any of the lenses or accessories.
I wish half the stuff I own lasted this well, this long.

I shoot a few hundred rolls per year, primarily through (bought used
on eBay) my Om-4Ti. I shoot less than a dozen rolls per year in
controlled situations (i.e. studio), with the bulk of them being
outdoors, sports, and news. My backup Om-4Ti and Om-1n spnd lots of
time bouncing around in my SUV, both summer and winter. When I first
got into photography (20+ years ago) I was shooting less film, but
primarily shot on rock climbing and hiking treks, so my Om1 and Om-10
have taken their share of falls off cliffs, logged hundreds of miles
in backpacks, panniers, and dangling off equipment racks.
That count?
