Broken Sliders
Sorry, but I don't have any pictures of any bent sliders, as I don't have any yet. But I want to see YOUR pictures of bent and/or broken sliders. Any other information, like what material it's made of, what kind of welds are on it (if welded!), and of course what were you doing, would be great.

Just wondering why your asking? Sliders are not generally known to break or bend. It's pretty rare.
Looking at your rig, you should have no worries with any sliders from ALL the known vendors. But if your looking to build your own, maybe AxleIke will chime in with a picture or two.
Most homebuilt sliders ive seen are just as stout if not more than what you can buy pre-built.... edit: why you wont find many pictures.

Good luck in your quest. I have seen sliders on trucks that are beat to crap, but they are still serving their intended purpose: To take abuse and protect the rocker panels. Roger Brown at 4crawler.com makes an awesome square set: http://4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/RockSliderZ.shtml
My 4xinnovation sliders on my '81 are HREW and appear to be tig welded.
HREW is cheaper than DOM but can dent easier...

It'd take one hell of a drop to bend them. They are usually pretty stout, hence the reason they're on the truck to begin with. I'm sure it is possible to bend them, but in "typical" crawling, it doesn't happen often.
