How vulnerable are preserved patients to vibration?

Obviously,  liquid nitrogen can make certain things very brittle.  I'm sure
you've seen the videos of a rose being flash frozen and shattered with a
hammer, or a similar one with a balloon.  Well, I read that there is a
Swedish firm called promessa that destroys bodies this way, by dropping them
in liquid nitrogen and subjecting them to "light vibration".

How vulnerable are patients in a cryonics storage vault to this?  Will the
hum of nearby machinery or a small earthquake cause the patients to turn
into a pile of shattered pieces?

Here's the website where they show the process
