Dropped/mishandled pf jars

So went to check on some pf jars that were inoculated about 2 weeks ago. Well it turns out some of the jars had been turned on their side, I saw 1 get dropped, and despite my VERY clear and direct instructions I have seen several of them turned over >.<: some right after sterilization and some recently. In your experience how do your jars perform when they are mishandled in such a way?

Are they fully colonized? If so they should be fine, if not they may contaminate. But if they dont contaminate just fruit them.
I guess I am confused by what you are asking, but I hope the above advice helps.

I know they might contam. I guess Im asking what are your guys' experiences with contamination when jars are dropped/ turned over etc. Does it increase significantly? They are far from full colonization at this point.

Any movement MIGHT cause a shift in your verm barrier, allowing contaminates to enter your PF jars. I personally just leave my Oyster BRF jars on a shelf and try to disturb them as little as possible. Hope this helps.

Well my mom picked up my oyster jars back in the day.... I had to tell her "NO! Bad Mom do not shift my verm barrier!"
Other than that they were fine... Kinda pissed my mom off but the oysters grew just fine

Yea, you wouldnt believe how hard it is for people to grasp the concept of: "DO NOT TIP"
If you are going to pick it up you need to hold it straight up and down...
Reminds me of the time I got my first spore print to germinate on agar, it was sitting on my shelf... Mom walks in and lifts up the top and is like whats this???
I was like "Mom what the HELL are you doing? You just contaminated that." Yay for living on your own?
