Hard to say - I was giving it maximum welly at the time, with both hands. The jaws on the CX do not have as much material on them as, say, the jaws on a Wave do. I doubt if I would've caused similar damage to a Wave. It's the same argument as can be applied to bike frames and components - you want lighter weight? Less/thinner material will achieve that. But don't expect the robustness from those parts that you would otherwise enjoy.
