Camelbaks - are they worth it?

Kitsune-

Wow, you must have really landed hard to rupture the bladder! I have landed on mine, on my back, countless times with no problem. (It's nice cushioning!)

I don't think it was so much how hard I landed as the way I landed- I managed to position myself with a log just above my kidneys. (thankfully?) it was early in the ride, so the pack was full... but that probably lended itself to the rupture... I doubt it would have had the bladder been less full.
