If they are spaceframes, dont land on the tip or tail, because there is no material there. the old promodels though are damn strong, and pretty solid.

skis are burly shit, go into any ski shop and flex the bajeezis out of any ski on the wall, i bet that you cant break any. (at least not kids/womens/beginer equipment) grab a 1080, tm or pe, they can take some series bending before they break. I have gotten skis into more then a U shape before i loose my grip. skis just dont break like that.

yea skis are def. very flexible and if your not real aggresive i wouldnt worry about breaking your skis at all. skis will only break under certain amount of pressure,which is hard to do. but of course it does happen
