That's certainly the drawback of aluminum hoods in our area.
I was once stuck in traffic in a nasty hail storm alongside a coworker (people stopped under the overpass and completely blocked traffic forcing everyone to sit in the storm rather than have a chance to drive out of it). He was in his F150 and me in a Tundra. His truck got jacked up. Mine didn't have a single dent.
Steel FTW.
