They make some aluminum ones now that are damned near unbreakable. Check out osagians! Our scout troop had 6 of them and we were hell on them! We also rented some on our yearly float trip to the Illinois river. Some years the river was low enough in spots you had to get a foot out and skate the canoe over the rocks. Only ever saw one broke completely in half, and that was near a huge log jam. Only thing we could figure was that it got stuck across the river open side up and got naild by another boat, thus breaking the nose off.
