Ditto. Given that the vast majority of people I know that have hard drive failures in MB/MBP's are the people who just pick up their laptop and walk around, I wouldn't voluntarily move any drive that way while it's running. Apple's laptop drives have rubber mounts also (albeit smaller) and also have sudden motion sensors, but still, the majority of failures seem to come from the "pick up and go" crowd.
Is that true when the MB/MBP is closed hence (presumably) asleep? Or does the 'Book have to be completely shut down? Number Two Son likes to carry his MB around without shutting down.
