Replying to Pvc vs abs breaking/chipping.... quick question for karma

So i read the latest thread on pvc chipping but still want input:

I had a 10 foot flat abs rail that i have been skiing for over a year, and a 10 foot pvc shotgun rail that i just built yesterday.

it was only like minus 10 out and after 4 hits on the new double barrel we encountered a massive chip/scratch and we tried to hit it some more.... but we just massacred both of the brand new pvc tubes that were on it in under 10 hits...(this was the first day using it)  so we go back to our other rail, and by the end of the night half of the abs cracked off and snapped off.

so i want to put new tubes back on the shotgun, but don't want the exact same thing happening again what do you guys recommend? i think i key factor was that last night i invited these two skiers who are not too used to rails and i think we were hitting i pretty hard.

Should i make the shotgun rail better supported? should i buy pvc or abs or something else? is there a way i could set it up so we land on it softer?

any imput is wanted i need these answers relatively quick + k to good answers and vice versa for assholes.
