Well, it's still worse than 10 times as bad because there are elasticity effects. You can see this on your nose. There is a force you can use to squeeze it that won't do anything but much more and you can break the blood vessels in it and give you a bruise. You could do that first thing many times but there's a threshold effect.

Or a balloon. It recovers from lots of pressing, even repeatedly. But there's a pressure from which it's never going to recover and crossing that threshold has binary outcome.
