Default Do hard drives fail from open covers?

Three of my 60-80 Gig Maxtor hard drives failed. First it will not look
for datas. Later it will not format. Then finally it will click forever and
won't boot. All three have the same thing in common, there covers
were opened for a second in a clean, dust free room out of curiosity.
Do hard drives fail from a quick cover removal?

Thanks
