I don't think that's the opposite of plot armour, though - O'Brien was too much a main character (and too popular) to be killed off, so we knew he'd survive the episode/danger/trauma.
He definitely broke his arm more than the rest of the cast combined, but was spared any serious injury until the plot required it.

Maybe it's not a direct comparison, but it's hard for the true opposites, the Red Shirts, to be characters 😜

Poor O'Brien still feels a burn when he pees, he's got that plot disease
