They are great if you move a ton of furniture, boxes, parts because everything slides with minimal force. They last forever and are tough to put holes in. You probably have an inch of thick plastic ribbed cushioning from a drop. But dropping blocks and rocks from an elevated height is a different story. I think you'd get dents all the same but to a lesser degree. I just chopped my old plastic liner out and it took a sawzall and a good hour to get it into 12x12 squares for the trash bin. It's tough plastic and has some weight to it. It's possible it would have prevented the punch through in the Aluminum bed.

The downside to them is the debris that builds up underneath, especially leaves. You end up with rust where water pools.
