can happen to a piston than breaking the valve stem. I've seen students drop them (all sorts of different damage possible)put them back in with grit on them and get them jammed in the casing, strip the threads on the valve cap and the piston casing by forcing it on at an angle, even try to polish the piston with Brasso. Both types of valves have their advantages and disadvantages, but for an inexperienced student with the threat of instant dismemberment over his head if he takes them apart, rotary valves might have less potential for accidental maintenence damage
