if they are snapping off and breaking bolts/mounts and bending frames, they are too transversely rigid. Ideally, you'd want them to shatter off when hit from the side, but not break when hit head on longitudinally.
Think of pencil lead. It breaks very easily if you hit it from the side, but it's hard to crush the lead back into the pencil.
In general, I think sliders are underengineered compared to their potential. For example, who thought that a sharp cylinder would make the best impact profile? Something like a mushroom shape would be much better.
