Screws dont' really fall out, just tighten them, mine have stayed tight.

As for the plates...break? Are you kidding? These things are meeant to take probably 500 pounds of pressure, this is SOLID nylon plastic, try taking two snowboards (same material) and putting them together and trying to break them, that's about how "easy" it is to break these plates. The most you can do is wear them out from grinding hard surfaces.

it is possible to break them...I almost broke my bbks...i soaped those metal green grass borders that raise up about 5 inches around sidewalks...(anyidea what i'm talking about?) and it was like...maybe as thin as a 2 cds put together...and soaped it, and i was like "something's not right" and i bailed and when i looked at my plate, it (still) has a gash that went REALLY deep into the plate...because i didnt think about it being thin metal and me wieghing 110 lbs and putting sliding pressure on it...so it is possible...if you soap razor blades...
