Because I live in Finland, that skid plate is very important.
Of course I try to drive carefully, but...

I have to go to work every weekday a year and in the wintertime
there are maybe 5-10 inches of snow waiting for me outside.
That icy debris is often a biggest problem; fortunately the Panzer can deal with that easily.
