I've managed to bend axles on three to date. I've only grenaded one helico freewheel. I still think they generally get a bad wrap. Granted, I've ridden tri-bikes but never entered a single tri in my life...
I hate to think about all the other brand of freewheels I've grenaded or had some other failure ranging from stuck pawl to slipping under load versus what I've seen out of the helicomatics.
