The design of the lamp is not a problem, it's been around for 200 years. And I'm sure those particular lamps have been carefully hand built and tested to the strictest standards. The flight from Greece isn't the problem, it's the trek around Canada, 26,000km by land, 18,000km by air, and being handled by at least 12,000 people that are pumped up, in winter weather. Plenty of opportunity for, "shit happens".
