Never been got by a standard fin as yet, but a whole different story with weed-free fins.
Too many cuts and nicks to think about from them over the years. problem is usually when water starting or getting out of water or lifting board up by the back strap and copping it right into the shin.

I agree that the trailing edge could be dulled a little with minimal performance loss. Plus the benefit (hopefully) of no blood in the water while sailing. Who wants to stop sailing just because of a little blood?
