I am not familiar with the term "static mic".
Neither dynamic nor condensor (aka capacitor) mics are 
inherently fragile at high SPL.

You may be thinking of ribbon mics?  Those *are* typically fragile and
many can be destroyed by high SPL or a simple strong puff of air (but
modern ones are more robust than old ones used to be).
