From personal experience only distros that ever broke on me after update are Manjaro and Debian sid. I’m not claiming it is not my own fault somehow or my specific hardware problem and it did happen long time ago but if I want rolling distro I would go with something that is specifically made for it. I had good experiences with openSUSE and Arch so I would recommend something of those two. Also staying on Debian stable is not that bad nowadays when you can get newest packages with flatpak.
This is smaller plane, maximum takeoff load is about 20 tons, and it probably wasn’t fully loaded, full semi-truck can be about 35 tons so it isn’t that impossible, aluminium is super light material.
