My Speedplay Zero pedals have taken quite a few hits during crashes but seem no worse for the wear. As far as smacking the pedal during a corner, that's very unlikely because the pedal is pretty much buried into your cleat when you're attached. You would probably be making shoe contact before pedal contact.
