Not sure how you would break it as the cable would get broken first. The shock is pretty well protected and you'd have to go through the cable first to hit it. As to why someone would want one, if you try to open the gate with your arms full, all you do is get the latch open and the gate comes down slowly, not slamming down. The new 09 is not as bad as the previous gen trucks though. But that is what it is for.
A 5 year old can't even reach the latch so that statement doesn't even make sence.
