Especially larger sensors? only if they fall on them from a great height. Otherwise, nothing to worry about. some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

But, I believe that the consensus is that it was probably false or very unlikely since it seemed that those who fly all the time with their gear have stated that they haven't noticed their cameras pixels dying at all. 5D3 / M3 / S100 / Σ 35 Art / 50 1.8 / 135 L / 17-40 L / 24-70 L / 70-200 f/4 IS L / m 22 2.0 / 580ex II
