I would suggest try taking lead falls in the gym. You do not want to submit your gear to unnecessary wearing.
I would never try lead falls on gear. I place my pieces and pry that I won't have to test them. The few times that I've fallen in gear they have hold, and I'm thankful for that, but I won't push my luck just to see if they hold.
