From the looks of things, just about as drop proof as most shotguns, better than some.
The trigger is blocked by a cross-bolt safety, which should hold the sear surfaces in tight engagement - so long as the safety is engaged.
There is no physical block to keep the hammer from falling if the shotgun is dropped with enough force to move the trigger w/o the safety engaged.
Likewise, there is no firing pin safety. The firing pin spring holds the firing pin to the rear, so any drop would have to impart sufficient force to overcome that spring resistance with enough energy to also ignite the primer.
Essentially the same deal as most all pump and semi shotguns with cross-bolt safeties, IMO.

Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
