No b/c that is purely structural damage, not caused or related to a mechanical operation. Merely an issue of awkward impact, along with less than par materials(not talking specifically about any head, but we all know a rock will bend steel haha). Im with you tho, as many blades get bent and broken... Alot of the reason for that tho is b/c the fixed blade head is obviously more rigid... No movement allows for less "give" which causes more stress on the head than say a rage b/c the o-ring is like a shock absorber...

out of the 5 ive killed with rages(3 with 3 blades, 2 with 2 blades) 3 have been bent to unususable. 2 3 blades and 1 2 blade were bent pretty bad(blades). The other 2 were fine but were shot through better places Im not bashing the rage or anything b/c like I said, I love the results and they have done great for me! Those are just my true results on average deer kills...

On a side not, I had a blood runner break during testing last year. The ferrul broke in a spot that kept the blades from going in and out. I WOULD consider that a mechanical failure, although it would have still went through a deer and killed it like a fixed blade... The mechanical operation of the head was no longer able to work so it was a failure...
