Anecdotal: My friend, who was about thirteen at the time, was delivering newspapers door to door when he was jumped by a couple of hoods.
The downside is, soft-leather whips wear out real fast, if you go around cracking them a lot. He would swing it around his head in circles, and then snap it forward over his head, cracking it. His smaller little brother insisted on trying it too, so after a couple minutes of begging, his older bro handed it over to my buddy.
He swung it around about three times and then snapped it forward, and the end came forward too low and connected perfectly with the back of his head. It raised a big seven-inch long welt you could see swell through his crew cut that split open and bled a little, but mostly just ran clear fluid. He turned in early that night.
