Default Alum vs graphite poles for touring

So today I actually compared alum poles to some low end graphite and
they really are a lot lighter! But for touring in the woods where poles
get stuck on things occasionally, or fallen onto, are graphites really
strong enough or are they prone to breakage (instead of bending like alum)?
