The Signature Gear advantage (Adventurers, p. 53) insures an item "against the vagaries of adventuring." Does this prevent weapon breakage when parrying heavy weapons (Exploits, p. 49)?

As a GM, I lean toward saying yes, but if it would have broken, it gets knocked out of your hands. So you still don't want to use your quarterstaff against the ogre's maul because you wouldn't want to lose your grip, but it wouldn't shatter the staff.

How do you handle this?
