I had a very well used ten year old fiberglass paddle split on the female half of the ferrule, I believe as a result of excessive wobble created from the wear of constantly taking the paddle apart. Nowadays, though I still like the occasional benefits of having a two piece paddle (like being able to tuck it inside the boat, concealed by the cockpit cover when I'm away from my boat) I rarely disassemble my paddles.
