Sometimes people learn something when they shoot themselves in the foot.

I assume there is a plan for recovering if a kid breaks something.  How ugly 
is it?  Can a kid do it by themselves, perhaps after a tolerable amount of 
coaching?  (If it happens often enough, perhaps the coaching can come from 
other kids who have done it already.)
