I had my 705 fall off twice, but both times was able to find/retrieve it. It was not due to the mount breaking, but due to the tab dissengaging the recess in the bottom of the unit. I since bend the tab upward a bit to improve the engagement and haven't lost one since (mtbing and road). Despite bending the tab, they haven't broken. The material of the mounts I have is pretty tough and not at all brittle.
