Fiber is way more resilient than that. You’d have to pretty much tie it into a knot or crease it to cause a serious problem. I’ve seen people treat them like copper, flattening loops “so they can’t act as an antenna”, and they still work fine. These are single-use drones pulling an individual ~40km strand off a big spool. As long as it comes off the spool cleanly, they should work just fine for as long as they need to. I imagine them getting tangled is the bigger risk.
