LOL. . . Actually, Your name came up in my conversation with Michael. I think You could bend Kryptonite.

Would You keep the crashes relatively mild? A mild crash is all it takes to bend the stock inner.

I think an all out crash might do these in as well; but they can be straightened. After talking to the manufacturer of these; I went with the annealed or 'mild' instead of hardened; as I didn't want them so brittle, they would snap.

I like the slightly more springiness that these have over the stock; I think that helps absorb some shock, and it bounces back.

Someone awhile back mentioned 'piano' wire; now that is some hard stuff! It would weigh the same as stock, but it is truely hardened steel. I might experiment with that too, but I went with the Titanium first, because of the weight and it is tougher than mild steel.
