If it comes down to the choice, I'll scratch my strip built rather than
my person 100 times out of 100.

There's a difference between use and abuse.  If you can reasonably
avoid it, and still do the damage, it's abuse.  If you're out having
fun with it, and stuff happens, that's use, and experience for the
paddler. It's all worth it in the grand scheme of things.  Again,
dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks.
