The ones that require climbing into look like a wreck about to happen the first time you stumble or trip in getting in. They look entirely unable to withstand any unexpected force at all.

I think the resilience of the basket-woven slats of the one in the third picture is probably pretty good.
Lots of triangle shapes and braced pieces to give it some strength, but probably of a material that "gives" when it has to.
