Porsche:
I too have had problems with rear carriers breaking on what seemed like a minor brush with the boards.
I figured out that previous harder collisions with the boards had actually done the damage - cracking the outer area around the hinge pin. Enough fatigue and then the smaller collisions complete the separation.
Still, I've only broken 3 rear carriers in 3 months of driving the XXX-S.
I run the BRP bumper up front and have never broken a front carrier.
